Military Tribunals: A Sorry History (2003)

After 9/11, President George W. Bush authorized the creation of military tribunals to try those who assisted in the terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington, DC. His military order closely tracked the model established by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who appointed a military tribunal in 1942 to try eight German saboteurs. In Ex parte Quirin (1942), the Supreme Court unanimously upheld Roosevelt's tribunal. The Bush administration relies heavily on this judicial precedent, but military tribunals in U.S. history have generally been hostile to civil liberties, procedural due process, and elementary standards of justice.
Quantitative Real-Time PCR Assay for QPX (Thraustochytriidae), a Parasite of the Hard Clam ( <i>Mercenaria mercenaria</i> ) (2009)

We developed a real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) assay targeting the rRNA internal transcribed spacer region of the hard clam pathogen QPX. The qPCR assay was more sensitive than was histology in detecting clams with light QPX infections. QPX was detected in 4 of 43 sediment samples but in none of 40 seawater samples.
The efficacy and tolerability of three different regimens of tafenoquine versus primaquine for post-exposure prophylaxis of Plasmodium vivax malaria in the Southwest Pacific (2008)

Tafenoquine is being developed for radical cure and post-exposure prophylaxis of Plasmodium vivax malaria. In an open-label study, 1512 Australian Defence Force personnel received one of three tafenoquine 3 d regimens [400 mg once daily (od), 200 mg twice daily (bid), 200 mg od] or daily primaquine (22.5 mg) plus doxycycline (100 mg) over 14 d in Bougainville and in Timor-Leste for post-exposure prophylaxis. The relapse rate of subjects treated in Bougainville with tafenoquine (n=173) was 1.2% (200 mg bid x 3 d) and 2.3% (400 mg od x 3 d), while primaquine plus doxycycline (n=175) was 3.4%. For subjects treated in Timor-Leste with tafenoquine (n=636), the relapse rate was 4.9% (200 mg od x 3 d), 5.3% (200 mg bid x 3 d) and 11.0% (400 mg od x 3d), while primaquine plus doxycycline (n=289) was 10.0%. The most frequent adverse events reported across all groups were nausea, abdominal distress and diarrhoea. There was a dose-dependent reduction in adverse events with a reduced dose of tafenoquine, with the lowest dose (total 600 mg over 3 d) producing rates of adverse events equivalent to that of primaquine plus doxycycline. The much shorter dosing regimen of tafenoquine should increase compliance, which is often suboptimal with primaquine after leaving an endemic area.

A radiation detector design mitigating problems related to sawed edges (2014)

In pixelated silicon radiation detectors that are utilized for the detection of UV, visible, and in particular Near Infra-Red (NIR) light it is desirable to utilize a relatively thick fully depleted Back-Side Illuminated (BSI) detector design providing 100% Fill Factor (FF), low Cross-Talk (CT), and high Quantum Efficiency (QE).
Nisin Inhibits Several Gram-Positive, Mastitis-Causing Pathogens (1989)

Organisms known to cause bovine mastitis, Enterococcus faecalis ssp. liquefaciens ATCC 27959, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29740, Streptococcus agalactiae ATCC 27956, Streptococcus equinus ATCC 27960, Streptococcus dysgalactiae ATCC 27957, Streptococcus uberis ATCC 27958, and the neotype Staphylococcus epidermidis ATCC 14990 were examined for their susceptibility to the small peptide antibiotic, nisin. Using a disc assay, minimum inhibitory concentrations of nisin ranged from 10 to 250 micrograms/ml among the strains. Examination of the antimicrobial effect of 50 micrograms/ml nisin in milk showed nisin inhibited all gram-positive pathogens tested.
High Performance Implementation of 3D Convolutional Neural Networks on a GPU (2017)

Convolutional neural networks have proven to be highly successful in applications such as image classification, object tracking, and many other tasks based on 2D inputs. Recently, researchers have started to apply convolutional neural networks to video classification, which constitutes a 3D input and requires far larger amounts of memory and much more computation. FFT based methods can reduce the amount of computation, but this generally comes at the cost of an increased memory requirement. On the other hand, the Winograd Minimal Filtering Algorithm (WMFA) can reduce the number of operations required and thus can speed up the computation, without increasing the required memory. This strategy was shown to be successful for 2D neural networks. We implement the algorithm for 3D convolutional neural networks and apply it to a popular 3D convolutional neural network which is used to classify videos and compare it to cuDNN. For our highly optimized implementation of the algorithm, we observe a twofold speedup for most of the 3D convolution layers of our test network compared to the cuDNN version.
Multiplex PCR for bla(CTX-M) & bla(SHV) in the extended spectrum beta lactamase (ESBL) producing gram-negative isolates. (2008)

Our study demonstrated rapid detection of bla(SHV) and bla(CTX-M) in isolates belonging to Enterobacteriaceae and other non-fermenting clinical isolates using multiplex PCR. This genotypic method provided a rapid and efficient differentiation of ESBLs in the laboratory.
The Backward Masking Red Light Effect and Schizotypy: The Influence of Sex (2011)

Previous research has shown a unique effect of red light on visual processing related to both schizophrenia and positive schizotypy. The current study examines whether this effect is influenced by sex in a more broadly-defined schizotypy sample. A location backward masking (BM) task with three color background conditions (red, green, and gray) was administered to 34 undergraduate students (59% female) with a high score on the Schizotypal Personality Questionnaire (SPQ) and 39 students (51% female) with a low score. Results revealed that the group by color interaction was significant for the male participants, while it did not approach significance in the females. The male schizotypy participants showed a significant decrease in BM accuracy to the red (vs. green) background, and the male control participants showed a non-significant mean increase in accuracy. A decrease in accuracy to the red background in the male participants showed the strongest relationship with higher scores on the Interpersonal (negative symptom) factor of the SPQ (particularly with the Constricted Affect subscale). The decrease in BM accuracy to red light was related to higher accuracy (reduced masking) on the "baseline" green background condition in the males, which may relate to a hypoactive magnocellular visual pathway in some of the schizotypy participants. Findings suggest that the previously reported schizophrenia red light effect is limited to males when examining a SPQ-defined sample, and appears to be primarily related to negative schizotypy symptoms. The red light effect continues to show promise as a new endophenotype for schizophrenia-spectrum disorders.
The alpha-linolenic Acid Content of Green Vegetables Commonly Available in Australia (2001)

Green vegetable consumption has long been considered to have health benefits mainly due to the vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients (such as vitamin C, folate, antioxidants etc) contained in a vegetable-rich diet. Additionally, green vegetables are known to contain a relatively high proportion of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), primarily in the form of alpha-linolenic acid (18:3n-3). However, there are no data available on the fatty acid composition and concentration of green vegetables commonly consumed in Australia. The present study determined the fatty acid content of 11 green vegetables that are commonly available in Australia. The total fatty acid concentrations of the vegetables under study ranged from 44 mg/100 g wet weight in Chinese cabbage to 372 mg/100 g in watercress. There were three PUFAs in all vegetables analyzed; these were 16:3n-3, 18:2n-6, and 18:3n-3 fatty acids. Sample vegetables contained significant quantities of 16:3n-3 and 18:3n-3, ranging from 23 to 225 mg/100 g. Watercress and mint contained the highest amounts of 16:3n-3 and 18:3n-3, and parsley had the highest amount of 18:2n-6 in both percentage composition and concentration. Mint had the highest concentration of 18:3n-3 with a value of 195 mg/100 g, while watercress contained the highest concentration of 16:3n-3 at 45 mg/100 g. All 11 green vegetables contained a high proportion of PUFAs, ranging from 59 to 72% of total fatty acids. The omega-3 PUFA composition ranged from 40 to 62% of total fatty acids. Monounsaturated fatty acid composition was less than 6% of total fatty acids. The proportion of saturated fatty acids ranged from 21% in watercress and mint to 32% of total fatty acids in Brussels sprouts. No eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids were detected in any of the samples. Consumption of green vegetables could contribute to 18:3n-3 PUFA intake, especially for vegetarian populations.
Cryptanalysis and improvement of a certificateless multi-proxy signature scheme. (2011)

Abstract. Multi-proxy signature allows an original signer authorizing a proxy group as his proxy agent and only the cooperation of all proxy signers in the group can create a proxy signature on behalf of the original signer. Recently, Jin and Wen defined a formal model of certificateless multi-proxy signature and proposed a concrete scheme. They claimed that their scheme is provably secure in their security model. Unfortunately, by giving concrete attacks, we show that Jin-Wen’s certificateless multi-proxy signature scheme is not secure according to their security model. Possible improvements of their scheme are also suggested to prevent these attacks.
High power transistor modules with intelligent functions (2005)

This paper presents high power transistor modules with intelligent functions such as self-protection and self-diagnosis. The current capacity of the modules rangesfrom 30A to 150A. Two key technologies for high power intelligent modules with compact size are reported. One is the development of power transistor chips (high hpE transistors and low loss IGBTs) and the other is the development of new module packages. This is the first demonstration of intelligent power modules more than 50A current capacity.

Electric power load management: Some technical, economic, regulatory and social issues (1979)

This paper provides a review of the subject of electric power load management. In Section I, we briefly introduce the topic and then provide a summary of the current operating characteristics of electric energy production and delivery (EEPD) systems. Section II places load management in the context of the broader set of energy management strategies available to EEPD systems. The organization and rationale of the paper is then explained. In Section III, we review the set of communication/control technologies available or under development for use in the implementation of load management in EEPD systems. We provide an assessment of the relative attractiveness of alternative technologies, a brief summary description of a major field demonstration being jointly funded by EPRI and DOE, and two examples which illustrate the state of the art in modern two-way systems. In Section IV, we review the conventional approach to U.S. electric rate design, describe the current national Electric Utility Rate Design Study, review some important basic ideas of microeconomics, explore the subject of price elasticity of demand, examine the basic ideas underlying marginal cost pricing, discuss some of the practical difficulties of implementing time dependent rates, briefly examine some foreign rate design experience, and conclude by summarizing a number of U.S. rate design experiments sponsored by NSF and by FEA (now DOE). Section V is devoted to an examination of the problems of finding manageable loads in the residential, commercial, industrial, and transportation sectors. Particular attention is given to the development of thermal storage systems for water heating, space heating, and space cooling. Section VI is devoted to summarizing a number of studies which have attempted to assess the short- and long-term economic impacts of load management. The state of the field is such that few definitive cost/benefit statements can be made at this time. A number of potential social impacts are discussed and some broad regulatory policy guidelines are suggested. Finally, in Section VII, we highlight conclusions reached in the five preceeding sections, and identify a number of research and policy needs.
USRIEM Heat Strain Model: New Algorithms Incorporating Effect of High Terrestrial Altitude (2003)

This report describes modifications made to the USARIEM model to extend its applicability to high terrestrial altitude environments. Current deployments of U.S. forces to high altitude regions in and around Afghanistan provided the immediate impetus for this effort. Primary focus has been placed on elevations ranging from 0 (sea level) and 4000 meters (13,123 ft). The approach draws exclusively on previously published work, and is necessarily based on a combination of rational and empirically derived relationships compatible with the USARIEM model's computational structure. The modifying algorithms use atmospheric pressure and are applied to the convective and evaporative heat transfer components of the USARIEM model, specifically the thermal resistance L(SUB T) and maximum evaporative power of the environment E(sub max) algorithm derivations. These two modifications are minimally invasive to the USARIEM model computational engine and should be applicable to hyperbaric as well as more drastic hypobaric environments.
Architecture exploration of flash memory storage controller through a cycle accurate profiling (2011)

Recently, NAND flash memory has been widely adopted as a storage medium in various devices such as mobile phones, MP3 players, and digital cameras. In particular, Solid State Drives (SSDs), which are composed of multiple NAND flash memories, have gradually replaced hard disk drives (HDD). However, SSDs have an inherent weakness stemming from NAND flash memory and its complex architecture. This phenomenon makes it difficult to analyze and optimize the performance of SSD controllers. To overcome this weakness, highly accurate system simulations are needed for exploring architectural parameters to maximize the performance during the design phase. In this paper, we implement a simulator that considers all of the hardware components in SSD to assist in generating quantitatively accurate analysis when an algorithm or controller is realized. This simulator models the detailed characteristics of hardware components such as operation clock frequency and resource conflicts in order to represent SSD in great detail. In the experiments section, we verify the impacts of interface speed, page size, and other configuration parameters by using this cycle accurate simulator. These analysis results can then be used as raw data for optimization.
Proteinase and Peptidase Activities of Cell-Free Extracts from Mutant Strains of Lactic Streptococci (1988)

Cell-free extracts prepared from two lactose-negative, proteinase-negative mutant strains of lactic streptococci, Streptococcus lactis (25Sp), and S. cremoris (KHA2), and the parent strains, S. lactis C2 and S. cremoris (KH), were evaluated for proteinase and peptidase activities. Of the mutant cultures tested, the extract from S. lactis (25Sp) had the highest aminopeptidase activity as determined with the substrates L-lysyl-paranitroanilide, L-leucyl-para-nitroanilide, and L-prolyl-para-nitroanilide. Extract from the same strain also had the highest dipeptidase (DL-alanylglycine and DLleucylglycine served as substrates) activity when ceils were initially grown in a suitable medium with pH maintained at 6 or 6.5 by addition of NH4OH. The call-free extracts from S. lactis (25Sp) and S. cremoris (KHA2) had higher enzyme activities (aminopeptidase, and dipeptidase) and had lower intracellular proteinase activity (N,N-dimethyl casein served as substrate) than did extracts of the parent strains when they were grown at pH 6.5. Electrophoretic patterns of cell-free extracts indicated different bands with various enzyme specifities. Both mutant strains had similar specificity for different aminoacyl-/3-naphthylamides. Minor differences were noted for dipeptidase activities.
Absorption, distribution and metabolism of dimethylsulfoxide in the rat, rabbit and guinea pig. (1966)

The absorption, distribution and metabolism of dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) have been studied in several animal species using S 35 -tagged material. Absorption is rapid and complete in the rat and rabbit when administered either orally or dermally. Radioactivity is found in relatively equal concentrations in all tissues soon after dosing, including the ocular tissues. The rat excretes a major part of the dose in the urine within 24 hr, partly as dimethylsulfone, but chiefly as unchanged DMSO. Excretion of label in the rabbit is more prolonged. Metabolism to the sulfone was also demonstrated in the rabbit and guinea pig.
Towards a Supply Chain Management System for Counterfeit Mitigation using Blockchain and PUF (2019)

The complexity of today's supply chain, organised in several tiers and including many companies located in different countries, makes it challenging to assess the history and integrity of procured physical parts, and to make organisations really accountable for their conduct. This enables malicious practices like counterfeiting and insertion of back doors, which are extremely dangerous, especially in supply chains of physical parts for industrial control systems used in critical infrastructures, where a country and human lives can be put at risk. This paper aims at mitigating these issues by proposing an approach where procured parts are uniquely identified and tracked along the chain, across multiple sites, to detect tampering. Our solution is based on consortium blockchain and smart contract technologies, hence it is decentralised, highly available and provides strong guarantees on the integrity of stored data and executed business logic. The unique identification of parts along the chain is implemented by using physically unclonable functions (PUFs) as tamper-resistant IDs. We first define the threat model of an adversary interested in tampering with physical products along the supply chain, then provide the design of the tracking system that implements the proposed anti-counterfeiting approach. We present a security analysis of the tracking system against the designated threat model and a prototype evaluation to show its technical feasibility and assess its effectiveness in counterfeit mitigation. Finally, we discuss several key practical aspects concerning our solution ad its integration with real supply chains.
Network Reliability With Geographically Correlated Failures (2010)

Fiber-optic networks are vulnerable to natural disasters, such as tornadoes or earthquakes, as well as to physical failures, such as an anchor cutting underwater fiber cables. Such real-world events occur in specific geographical locations and disrupt specific parts of the network. Therefore, the geography of the network determines the effect of physical events on the network's connectivity and capacity. In this paper, we develop tools to analyze network failures after a `random' geographic disaster. The random location of the disaster allows us to model situations where the physical failures are not targeted attacks. In particular, we consider disasters that take the form of a `random' line in a plane. Using results from geometric probability, we are able to calculate some network performance metrics to such a disaster in polynomial time. In particular, we can evaluate average two-terminal reliability in polynomial time under `random' line-cuts. This is in contrast to the case of independent link failures for which there exists no known polynomial time algorithm to calculate this reliability metric. We also present some numerical results to show the significance of geometry on the survivability of the network and discuss network design in the context of random line-cuts. Our novel approach provides a promising new direction for modeling and designing networks to lessen the effects of geographical disasters or attacks.
Content management systems for mobile, context-dependent augmented reality applications (2014)

In the last few years, the proliferation of mobile devices with internet access, especially smartphones and tablets, has grown strongly. This has also positively influenced the mobile augmented reality (AR) market and allowed AR applications to achieve a high number of users. The necessary tools and frameworks for developing such applications are numerously available. However, there is still the question how to store and manage the displayed contents of the applications in an effective way. This is true, especially if the management of user individual content is considered. This paper describes how content management systems (CMS) for mobile AR applications can be designed, in order to allow an effective and efficient management of context-dependent and personalized content. Because of the possibility to create individual AR contents for each user, with context-dependent and personalized content management an improved effect on advertising and marketing activities can be achieved. The architecture of the described system additionally considers important system characteristics, which lead to high user acceptance and high customer value.
