Subpixel accuracy image registration by spectrum cancellation (1993)

An image registration algorithm which achieves subpixel accuracy using a frequency-domain technique is proposed. This approach is efficient compared with the conventional approaches based on interpolation or correlations in the spatial/frequency domain. This approach can achieve subpixel accuracy registration even when images contain aliasing errors due to undersampling. The FFTs (fast Fourier transforms) of the images have computational complexities smaller than the interpolation or convolution computations by orders of magnitude. The accuracy of the proposed approach is demonstrated through computer simulations for different types of images.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Arterial Queue Spillback Detection and Signal Control Based on Connected Vehicle Technology (2013)

Queue spillbacks are a major problem in urban signalized arterials because such spillbacks can lead to gridlock and excessive delays. Several methods based on fixed-location detector data have been proposed to identify the occurrence of queue spillbacks and implement signal control strategies to mitigate their impacts. This paper presents two queue spillback detection methods based on connected vehicle (CV) or probe data. The first method requires only the use of CV data and is based on the notion that nonequipped vehicles in queue that arrive after the last CV-equipped vehicle can be modeled by using a geometric distribution. The second spillback detection method combines CV data with information about the signal settings at the upstream intersection and is based on a kinematic wave theory of traffic. The authors also developed a signal control strategy to mitigate queue spillbacks once they were detected. The proposed queue spillback detection methods and alternative signal control strategy were tested through simulation on a four-signal segment of San Pablo Avenue in Berkeley, California. The results show the penetration rate thresholds of CV-equipped vehicles required for accurate queue detection. The proposed signal control strategy improved traffic operations for the upstream cross streets without compromising traffic operations on either direction of the arterial traffic and substantially reduced the variation of the queue length on the critical arterial link.
LOVE STYLES FROM A BILINGUAL (HUNGARIAN-SERBIAN) AND A MONOLINGUAL (SERBIAN) PERSPECTIVE (2012)

Recently there has been a growing body of research interested in the concept of love and in the emotional life of bilinguals. The aim of this research was twofold. One aim was to explore the love styles of young people in Vojvodina, Serbia in the context of Hungarian and Serbian language. On the other hand, a monolingual Serbian group and a bilingual group of Hungarian-Serbian young people were studied to see if there were significant differences in their intimate relationships in Serbian, as the dominant language and in Hungarian, as a minority language. The goal was to explore if there were different love styles connected to each language in a majority and a minority group. Additionally, we wanted to see if there were detectable language dominance effects in bilinguals, whether bilinguals had different romantic relationship constructs in their two languages. In this research, Susan and Clyde Hendrick's Love Attitude Scale-Short form was applied. The scale was translated into Hungarian and Serbian. The equality of the meaning of the two scale versions was carefully matched. The results showed that comparing the monolingual group and the bilingual group in the first language there were group differences in Eros and Agape. In the monolingual Hungarian and bilingual Serbian answers we can find the same differences: Eros and Agape were found to be more powerfully expressed in the bilingual group in both of their languages compared to the monolingual group. Considering bilinguals' first and second language results, two styles have been found to differ. These were Mania and Storge, which were present in different amounts in the first and the second language. The relevance of this study lies in the fact that there is a rising number of multiethnic and multicultural intimate relationships. Many of the partners have to use a second language to express love and affection. Expression and understanding of emotions may depend on the language which is used in communication and on cultural variation in values and norms. This research has important implications for the study of ethnocultural differences and first- and second language modulated affective functioning. Keywords: bilingualism, monolingualism, love, Love Attitude Scale, Hungarian, Serbian.
Characteristics of Patients Using Complementary Alternative Medicine Combined with Conventional Medicine in Primary Care (2005)

Objective: Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is a group of diverse medical care systems, practices, and products that are not presently considered to be part of conventional medicine. The purpose of this study was to understand the prevalence and factors associated with patients who use CAM combined with conventional medicine in primary care in Beitou District of Taipei City. Methods: We conducted the study at Beitou Outpatient Clinic of Taipei City Hospital, Yangming Branch. Adult patients who visited Beitou Outpatient Clinic in September 2004 were randomly selected to participate in this project. Subjects were interviewed and asked about their use of CAM (use CAM combined with conventional medicine, and ever used CAM). A frequency distribution was used to describe the patient characteristics and prevalence of patients who use CAM combined with conventional medicine. The chi-square test and logistic regression analysis were performed to identify factors associated with patients who use CAM combined with conventional medicine. Results: A total of 129 patients were recruited in this study, 25.6% of the patients use CAM combined with conventional medicine. Factors associated with patients who use CAM combined with conventional medicine were noted as following: age, educational level, chronic diseases, medical belief, and use of CAM history. Patients who use CAM combined with conventional medicine were greater by: older patients, patients with lower educational level, patients with known chronic diseases, patients who believe that CAM combined with conventional medicine will help, and patients who ever used CAM. Conclusion: CAM used in conjunction with conventional medicine was a commonplace practice in primary care in Beitou District of Taipei City. To maintain effective physician-patient communication and ensure responsible clinical practice, it is important that primary care physicians enrich the knowledge associated with these therapies.

Extrinsic parameter calibration of 2D radar-camera using point matching and generative optimization (2019)

The fusion of sensors is a task to improve the recognition performance of obstacles in an autonomous vehicle system. For the fusion of sensors, extrinsic parameter calibration with 6-dof is needed to integrate the data between the sensors. This paper proposes a method of calibration between 2D radar and camera using point matching. We use corner reflectors calibration target, which focuses the radar signal at the center of the target. Using this target, we set the center point as Ground truth, which improves the accuracy of the estimation of the calibration parameter. We simultaneously measure the target with radar and camera. After estimating the intrinsic parameters of the camera, the coordinate axes of the camera and the radar are matched based on the camera view. This paper estimates the extrinsic parameters using point matching and top-down method. The proposed method is verified through experiments and results.

Influence of light intensity, spectrum and orientation on sea bass plasma and ocular melatonin (2002)

Melatonin is involved in the transduction of light information and the photoperiodic control of many important physiological functions in fish. Although artificial photoperiods have been used to improve fish growth and manipulate reproduction, there is little information about the characteristics of light 'quality'. In this paper we describe the effects of a light pulse in the middle of the dark phase on plasma and ocular melatonin in European sea bass. We first determined the light intensity necessary to elicit a melatonin response using white light of varying intensities (0.6-600 mu W/cm(2), experiment 1). Secondly, we tested the effect of the light spectrum on melatonin production using three differently coloured lights (half-peak bandwidth=434-477, 498-575 and 610-687 nm for the blue, green and red lamp, respectively, experiment 2) and, finally, we determined the effect of light orientation (downwards directed versus upwards directed, experiment 3). The results show that the minimum light intensity needed to inhibit or stimulate melatonin levels in both plasma and the eye was 6.0 mu W/cm(2). A linear correlation was found between the logarithm of light intensity and the relative inhibition. In addition, the blue wavelength was more effective in decreasing melatonin levels in the former and increasing the levels in the latter. Nevertheless, red light at sufficient intensity proved effective at significantly suppressing circulating melatonin. Downwards light had a greater effect than upward-directed illumination in suppressing plasma melatonin. In conclusion, the results point to the importance of giving proper consideration to the characteristics of light, to adequately control melatonin production and its related physiological processes.
Determination of mono‐, di‐, and triglycerides by molecular distillation and thin‐layer chromatography (1961)

Abstract Analysis of mixtures of mono‐, di‐, and triglycerides by molecular distillation and thin‐layer chromatography is described. Mono‐ and diglycerides undergo appreciable acyl migration through the effect of heat during molecular distillation. Nevertheless this technique may be used for the quantitative analysis of mixtures of mono‐, di‐, and triglycerides, provided there are no substances present which catalyze, disproportionation. Thin‐layer chromatographic (TLC) analysis of mono‐, di‐, and triglycerides is fast and simple and can be carried out on a micro‐scale with a high degree of accuracy and precision. It also is extremely sensitive, permitting the quantitative estimation of as little as 0.1% of a single component in a mixture.
Data-Driven Anomaly Detection for UAV Sensor Data Based on Deep Learning Prediction Model (2019)

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) can accomplish various specific tasks and play an increasingly essential role in military, industrial and civil fields. However, the safety of the UAV is lower than that of manned aircraft, and great economic loss is caused due to its relatively high failure rate. Therefore, it is of great significance to study the anomaly detection method for the UAV system. In recent years, the deep learning method has been widely applied in various fields due to its outstanding advantages such as strong ability to approximate complex functions and automatic feature extraction. In this paper, a Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) Recurrent Neural Network method is proposed for the UAV anomaly detection. Firstly, a prediction model is formulated based on the training data set which contains only normal data, then the data at next time can be predicted. Secondly, according to the prediction results in train phase, we give an estimation of the prediction uncertainty. Finally, anomaly detection is achieved by comparing the prediction value with the uncertain interval. Real UAV sensor data with point anomalies in north velocity and pneumatic lifting velocity are used to verify the proposed method, and experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively detect point anomalies.

The MPC105 is a highly integrated single chip design which provides a bridge between a variety of PowerPC microprocessors and the Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) bus. The MPC105 also integrates secondary cache control and a high performance memory controller which supports DRAM, SDRAM, and ROM. System designers will be able to design systems using peripherals already designed for PCI, providing an easy and cost effective bridge to PowerPC processors.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Hypoglycaemic activity of selected European plants (1995)

Abstract Nine European plants were selected to be screened for hypoglycaemic activity. Selection criteria were based on traditional use and literature references. Total extracts of the plants were prepared by boiling the dried material with water or macerating it with 80% ethanol. Male Swiss mice were orally loaded with glucose after the extracts had been given by oral gavage. Four extracts improved the glucose tolerance: Adiantum capillus veneris, Daucus carota, Galega officinalis and Juglans regia . Further investigation will be focused on bioguided isolation of active fractions.
Auriculotherapy for Pain Management: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials (2010)

Auriculotherapy may be effective for the treatment of a variety of types of pain, especially postoperative pain. However, a more accurate estimate of the effect will require further large, well-designed trials.
Insulin resistance and obesity‐related factors in Prader–Willi syndrome: Comparison with obese subjects (2004)

Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS), the most common genetic cause of marked obesity in humans, is usually due to a de novo paternally derived chromosome 15q11-q13 deletion or maternal disomy 15 [(uniparental disomy (UPD)]. Obesity is due to energy imbalance, but few studies have examined fat patterning and obesity-related factors in subjects with PWS (deletions and UPD) compared with subjects with simple obesity. We examined for differences in fatness patterning and lipid, leptin, and glucose and insulin levels in subjects with simple obesity and PWS and adjusted for gender, age, and body mass index (BMI). Fasting peripheral blood samples and cross-sectional magnetic resonance image scans at the level of the umbilicus were obtained in 55 subjects ranging in age from 10.4 to 49 years: 20 PWS deletion, 17 PWS UPD, and 18 obese controls. Subcutaneous fat area (SFA) and intra-abdominal visceral fat area (VFA) were calculated. No significant difference was seen between the PWS deletion subjects or PWS UPD subjects for fatness measurements or leptin levels. Twenty-three of 37 PWS subjects met the criteria for obesity (BMI > 95th percentile). No significant differences were observed for SFA and VFA between the PWS subjects judged to be obese and control subjects with simple obesity. There was an overall trend for decreased VFA in the PWS subjects but not significantly different. VFA was significantly positively correlated with both fasting insulin and total cholesterol in PWS deletion subjects but not in PWS UPD subjects or obese controls. Fasting insulin level was significantly lower in the obese PWS subjects compared with subjects with simple obesity, and insulin sensitivity (QUICKI) was significantly higher in PWS subjects with obesity. Homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) and QUICKI values were correlated and in opposite directions with triglycerides in the obese PWS subjects but not in the obese controls. Subjects in each group were stratified according to published criteria on the basis of their level of visceral fat (e.g. > or = 130 cm(2)) to assess the influence of VFA on metabolic abnormalities. In the obese PWS subjects, the fasting triglyceride, glucose, and insulin levels, and HOMA value were significantly elevated, while the QUICKI value was significantly lower in those with VFA > or = 130 cm(2). Such significant differences were not seen in the obese control group. Our results indicate that VFA may be regulated differently in PWS subjects compared to individuals with simple obesity. Insulin resistance is lower in PWS subjects and insulin sensitivity is higher compared with obese controls. PWS subjects with increased VFA may be at a higher risk of obesity-related complications compared to PWS subjects without increased VFA.
Receptor-specific antibodies by immunization with "antisense" peptides? (1989)

Synthetic peptides whose sequences are specified by RNA complementary to the mRNA coding for peptide hormones have been reported to be useful antigens for the generation of receptor-specific antibodies. We have synthesized an eikositetrapeptide whose sequence corresponds to the complementary strand of the mRNA coding for the sequence of human ACTH(1-24). This "antisense" ACTH(1-24) peptide, "HTCAh," was coupled to bovine serum albumin or thyroglobulin prior to injection into rabbits. The complex proved to be very antigenic, inducing antisera of high titer and specificity. The antisera were tested in ACTH and MSH binding and bioassays, with or without prior purification of IgG molecules. None of the antisera displayed any effect in these assays, nor did they bind to blotted MSH/ACTH receptor protein from Cloudman S91 melanoma cells or to ACTH antibodies. The HTCAh peptide itself did not display measurable association to tritiated or iodinated ACTH(1-24), nor did it displace ACTH(1-24) in a receptor binding assay. However, the peptide bound to a low affinity site of mouse B16 melanoma cells which was independent of the MSH/ACTH binding site and induced melanin formation in these cells, but only at relatively high peptide concentration. Thus, in our hands, the antisense peptide approach using HTCAh as antigen did not lead to receptor-specific antibodies.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
Clinical Strategy for the Development of Angiogenesis Inhibitors (2000)

Angiogenesis inhibitors differ from conventional cytotoxic chemotherapy agents by targeting normal cells rather than tumor cells, which may contain multiple mutations. Because of this, the traditional strategy used in clinical development of cytotoxic agents may not be appropriate for these novel agents. Many clinical studies are now evaluating these agents with a new approach, referred to as the cytostatic paradigm. The cornerstone of the cytostatic paradigm is the use of time to progression (TTP) of disease as the decision-making criterion for "go/no go" in the early phases of clinical development. However, the use of TTP as the main criterion for clinical trials is complicated for a variety of reasons, including: A) the lack of standardized criteria accepted by regulatory authorities; B) the heterogeneity of the historical database, and C) the larger number of patients needed for the "go/no go" decision-making process. In addition, clinical trials of cytotoxic agents have traditionally used objective response (despite the controversy regarding objective response as a surrogate for clinical activity) as the main criterion for determining whether the results of phase II studies justify the pivotal phase III studies. Another aspect of the clinical development strategy is combining angiogenesis inhibitors with cytotoxic chemotherapy. The rationale for combination of angiogenesis inhibitors with cytotoxic agents is based on: A) different targets for these agents; B) lack of cross-resistance patterns; C) lack of myelosuppression with angiogenesis inhibitors allows administration of full doses of all agents, and D) the assumption that combining these agents will result in additive antitumor activity. Combination therapy with angiogenesis inhibitors may be attractive to both clinicians and their patients because it allows cytostatic agents to be used upfront in treatment while contributing to drug registration strategy (cytostatic/cytotoxic combination therapy versus cytotoxic therapy). The clinical development of the angiogenesis inhibitor SU5416, a small molecule inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor, is currently ongoing. In phase I trials, SU5416 demonstrated activity in both colorectal and non-small-cell lung cancer patients. Based on these encouraging results, phase III studies to evaluate combination of SU5416 with established cytotoxic therapy are planned. These studies will include an interim analysis, the equivalent of a phase II evaluation of clinical activity. If successful, this strategic approach will save significant time in the clinical development process.
