GPUShare: Fair-Sharing Middleware for GPU Clouds (2016)

Many new cloud-focused applications such as deep learning and graph analytics have started to rely on the high computing throughput of GPUs, but cloud providers cannot currently support fine-grained time-sharing on GPUs to enable multi-tenancy for these types of applications. Currently, scheduling is performed by the GPU driver in combination with a hardware thread dispatcher to maximize utilization. However, when multiple applications with contrasting kernel running times and high-utilization of the GPU need to be co-located, this approach unduly favors one or more of the applications at the expense of others. This paper presents GPUShare, a middleware solution for GPU fair sharing among high-utilization, long-running applications. It begins by analyzing the scenarios under which the current driver-based multi-process scheduling fails, noting that such scenarios are quite common. It then describes a software-based mechanism that can yield a kernel before all of its threads have run, thus giving finer control over the time slice for which the GPU is allocated to a process. In controlling time slices on the GPU by yielding kernels, GPUShare improves fair GPU sharing across tenants and outperforms the CUDA driver by up to 45% for two tenants and by up to 89% for more than two tenants, while incurring a maximum overhead of only 12%. Additional improvements are obtained from having a central scheduler that further smooths out disparities across tenants' GPU shares improving fair sharing by up to 92% for two tenants and by up to 76% for more than two tenants.
Herpes Simplex Virus Tegument ICP0 Is Capsid Associated, and Its E3 Ubiquitin Ligase Domain Is Important for Incorporation into Virions (2009)

Herpes simplex virus (HSV) immediate-early (IE) protein ICP0 is a multifunctional regulator of HSV infection. ICP0 that is present in the tegument layer has not been well characterized. Protein compositions of wild-type and ICP0 null virions were similar, suggesting that the absence of ICP0 does not grossly impair virion assembly. ICP0 has a RING finger domain with E3 ubiquitin ligase activity that is necessary for IE functions. Virions with mutations in this domain contained greatly reduced levels of tegument ICP0, suggesting that the domain influences the incorporation of ICP0. Virion ICP0 was resistant to removal by detergent and salt and was associated with capsids, features common to inner tegument proteins.
<title>Nonlinear preprocessing scheme for JPEG-based image coding</title> (1994)

In this paper, we propose to use a class of nonlinear filters, called weighted median filters, as preprocessors to JPEG-based image coding. A theory to design weighted median filters which maximally smooth the image subject to a set of important image details is presented. An efficient algorithm is provided and simulations are given to demonstrate the performance of these preprocessors.
Exact circuit power loss design method for high power density converters utilizing Si-IGBT/SiC-diode hybrid pairs (2008)

An exact design method of circuit power loss is developed. The method is useful for designing high power density converters utilizing Si-IGBT/SiC-Shottky-barrier-diode (SiC-SBD) or high voltage Si-IEGT/SiC-PiN-diode hybrid pairs. For the exact power loss calculation, an empirical method to extract device model parameters is introduced. The calculation results of the power loss are compared with experimental results, and the good agreements are confirmed. By using the method, the power loss of the 4.5 kV Si-IEGT/5 kV SiC-PiN diode hybrid pair is estimated to investigate the possibility of further increase of the switching frequency.
Clinical Chemistry: Characterization of R-Type Vitamin B12-Binding Proteins by Isoelectric Focusing (1975)

Stenman, U.-H. Characterization of R-Type Vitamin B12-Binding Proteins by Isoelectric Focusing. II. Comparison of Cobalopilin (R Proteins) from Different Sources. Scand. J. clin. Lab. Invest. 35, 147–155, 1975.The R-type vitamin B12-binding proteins, here called cobalophilin, in human plasma, serum, leukocytes, gastric juice, amniotic fluid, saliva, and milk, were characterized by isoelectric focusing and gel filtration. Cobalophilin from all these sources is microheterogeneous, consisting of several isoproteins with isoelectric points (PI) between 2.3 and 5.0. Isuproteins with PI values of 3.0, 3.3, 3.6, 3.9, and 4.2 were found in most of the cells and fluids studied, but in different proportions. Milk contains isoproteins with PI values mainly between 4.0 and 4.7, and such components also occur in considerable amounts in saliva. The cobalophilin in these fluids also has a smaller Stokes radius than that from other sources. On the basis of the isoelectric patterns and the Stokes radii the isoproteins of cobalophilin are tentatively divided into two populations, a glandular one occurring in milk and saliva and a myelogenic one occurring in all the cells and fluids studied but only occasionally in milk.
Structure of Polysaccharide-Peptidoglycan Complex from the Cell Wall of Lactobacillus casei YIT9018 (1990)

The isolation and analysis of the polysaccharide-peptidoglycan complexes of Lactobacillus casei YIT9018 are presented. Two polysaccharide-peptidoglycan complexes, PS-PG1 and PS-PG2, were solubilized from the heat-killed cell by treatment with N-acetylmuramidase. PS-PG1 was composed of glucose, rhamnose, and small amount of galactose and glucosamine. PS-PG2 was composed of glucose, rhamnose, galactosamine, and glucosamine. The ratio by weight of these fractions was about 1:8. PS-PG2 was analyzed in detail. Smith degradation and deamination of this complex yielded oligosaccharide units. The results of methylation analysis of these units and intact PS-PG2 led to the most probable structure of PS-PG2: (formula; see text)

Fusion Materials Research at Oak Ridge National Laboratory - Progress during Fiscal Year 2013: October 1, 2012 through September 30, 2013 (2013)

The realization of fusion energy is a formidable challenge with significant achievements resulting from close integration of the plasma physics and applied technology disciplines. Presently, the most significant technological challenge for the near-term experiments such as ITER, and next generation of fusion power systems, is the inability of current materials and systems to withstand the harsh fusion nuclear environment. The overarching goal of the ORNL fusion materials program is to provide the applied materials science support and understanding to underpin the ongoing DOE Office of Science fusion energy program while developing materials for fusion power systems. In doing so the program must be integrated both with the larger U.S. and international fusion materials communities, and with the international fusion design and technology communities.
Arenedicarboximide Building Blocks for Fluorescent Photoinduced Electron Transfer pH Sensors Applicable with Different Media and Communication Wavelengths (1998)

A whole family of modular photoinduced electron transfer (PET) sensors has been constructed from a single simple reaction type with commercially available materials. This family, one member of which is shown here, possesses amine receptors for protons and arenedicarboximide fluorophores addressable at different wavelengths. Its pH-sensing behaviour is examined in solution and in polymer membrane matrices, which are crucial for the use of fluorescent PET sensors as optode pH monitors.
Effect of Additives on Hole Filling Characteristics of Electroless Copper Plating (2004)

The effects of additives, such as Cl-, thiourea, benzotriazole, bis(3-sulfopropyl)-disulfide (SPS), and mercaptonicotinic acid, upon the hole filling characteristic of electroless Cu plating were investigated. With the addition of thiourea, the Cu deposition rate was suppressed and the hole filling characteristic became anti-bottom-up filling with the presence of voids. With the addition of SPS, bottom-up Cu filling was achieved and the bottom-up tendency increased with an increase in SPS concentration. The mechanism of anti-bottom-up filling and bottom-up filling with the addition of thiourea or SPS is attributed to the diffusion flux of thiourea being higher than that of Cu2+-EDTA complex, and the diffusion flux of SPS being lower than that of Cu2+-EDTA complex.
The Baire partial quasi-metric space: A mathematical tool for asymptotic complexity analysis in Computer Science (2010)

In 1994, S.G. Matthews introduced the notion of partial metric space in order to obtain a suitable mathematical tool for program verification [Ann. New York Acad. Sci. 728 (1994), 183-197]. He gave an application of this new structure to parallel computing by means of a partial metric version of the celebrated Banach fixed point theorem [Theoret. Comput. Sci. 151 (1995), 195-205]. Later on, M.P. Schellekens introduced the theory of complexity (quasi-metric) spaces as a part of the development of a topological foundation for the asymptotic complexity analysis of programs and algorithms [Elec- tronic Notes in Theoret. Comput. Sci. 1 (1995), 211-232]. The applicability of this theory to the asymptotic complexity analysis of Divide and Conquer algorithms was also illustrated by Schellekens. In particular, he gave a new proof, based on the use of the aforenamed Banach fixed point theorem, of the well-known fact that Mergesort al- gorithm has optimal asymptotic average running time of computing. In this paper, motivated by the utility of partial metrics in Computer Science, we discuss whether the Matthews fixed point theorem is a suitable tool to analyze the asymptotic complexity of algorithms in the spirit of Schellekens. Specifically, we show that a slight modification of the well-known Baire partial metric on the set of all words over an alphabet constitutes an appropriate tool to carry out the asymptotic complexity analysis of algorithms via fixed point methods without the need for assuming the convergence condition inherent to the defini- tion of the complexity space in the Shellekens framework. Finally, in order to illustrate and to validate the developed theory we apply our results to analyze the asymptotic complexity of Quicksort, Mergesort and Largesort algorithms.
OR3: an anti-TCR autoantibody and immunomodulation (96.7) (2010)

Abstract The presence of low levels of circulating self-reactive autoantibodies (AAbs) is a normal feature of a healthy immune system. One suggested function for autoantibodies is the control of autoreactivity and immune homeostasis. Healthy humans spontaneously express low levels of serum AAbs directed against defined epitopes of the T Cell Receptor (TCR) Vβ chains that can be markedly elevated in individuals with autoimmune diseases such as Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). Here, we describe a monoclonal IgM AAb, OR3, derived from peripheral blood B cells of a patient with RA. OR3 was selected for its ability to bind to residues 23-38 of the complementarity determining region 1 (CDR1) segment of human Vβ8.1. It binds to Jurkat T cells expressing human Vβ8.1 and to ovalbumin-specific transgenic murine DO11.10 T cells. OR3 significantly reduces ova peptide stimulated activation of DO11.10 CD4+ T cells and inhibits IFN-γ, IL-2 and IL-10 cytokine secretion by antigen specific DO11.10 T cells. OR3 also blocks antigen induced proliferation of DO11.10 T cells, but does not initiate apoptosis. The interaction between the TCR and MHC:peptide is a critical point in the activation of the adaptive immune response, disruption of which, can lead to a global dampening of the immune response. We show evidence for the development of a unique anti-TCR autoantibody that binds to only a subset of T cells and possesses potent blocking and anti-inflammatory properties that can be harnessed for therapeutic use.
0.1µm GaAs pHEMT technology and associated modelling for millimeter wave low noise amplifiers (2012)

Applications in the range of E to W bands are emerging during the last years specially in the field of Radio and security for active scanning systems. It required both low noise receiver and medium power amplifier which needs to use high performances, reliable millimeter wave technology. This paper describes basic fundamental of a 0.1 μm gate length process in term of process, characteristics and modelling. A specific emphasis is attached to the modelling issue in this domain of frequency and the difficulty to get reliable analysis. It is stressed at the end that thanks to accurate modelling in the low frequency part (Ka to Q bands), it allows to predict the behaviour of the device in E band. This methodology has been successfully applied to the design of a wideband LNA and HPA.
Cross-Sectional Comparison of Coronary Artery Calcium Scores Between Caucasian Men in the United States and Japanese Men in Japan: The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis and the Shiga Epidemiological Study of Subclinical Atherosclerosis (2014)

The incidence of coronary heart disease in the United States has declined, and prevalences of several coronary disease risk factors have become comparable to those in Japan. Therefore, the burden of coronary atherosclerosis may be closer among younger persons in the 2 countries. We aimed to compare prevalences of coronary atherosclerosis, measured with coronary artery calcium scores, between men in the 2 countries by age group (45-54, 55-64, or 65-74 years). We used community-based samples of Caucasian men in the United States (2000-2002; n = 1,067) and Japanese men in Japan (2006-2008; n = 832) aged 45-74 years, stratifying them into groups with 0, 1, 2, or ≥3 of the following risk factors: current smoking, overweight, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and hypertension. We calculated adjusted odds ratios of US Caucasian men's having Agatston scores of ≥10, ≥100, and ≥400 with reference to Japanese men. Overall, the odds of Caucasian men having each Agatston cutoff point were greater. The ethnic difference, however, became smaller in younger age groups. For example, adjusted odds ratios for Caucasian men's having an Agatston score of ≥100 were 2.05, 2.43, and 3.86 among those aged 45-54, 55-64, and 65-74 years, respectively. Caucasian men in the United States had a higher burden of coronary atherosclerosis than Japanese men, but the ethnic difference was smaller in younger age groups.
Bone marrow transplantation in the rat. I. Histologic correlations and quantitation of cellular infiltrates in acute graft-versus-host disease. (1984)

In an attempt to define which cytologic manifestations of inflammation are characteristic of acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD), the authors have analyzed hematologic reconstitution in the bone marrow, spleen, and blood of bone marrow transplant recipients and correlated these events to concomitant cytologic changes in the parenchymal target organs. After bone marrow transplantation from Lewis to BN strain, the strongest inflammatory changes were observed in the liver, a "model" parenchymal target organ for aGVHD in this strain combination. The inflammatory episode of the aGVHD in the liver was characterized by an early lymphoid blastogenesis, the presence of large granular lymphocytes (LGLs), lymphocytosis, and some monocytosis, lacking or significantly less prominent in the liver of syngeneic BN to BN recipients. Concomitantly with the infiltration of the liver with LGLs and lymphocytes, these cells were depleted from blood; and with their disappearance from the liver, they appeared in the recipient spleen. Lack of lymphoid blastogenesis in the bone marrow of allograft recipients and similar though less prominent cytologic changes in the syngeneic graft recipients, make it difficult to differentiate aGVHD-associated changes from normal reconstitution in the lymphoid tissue paper; the minimal changes in the blood make this organ the least suitable site for the monitoring of the aGVHD in the rat.

Concentrations of endothelial-cell-stimulating angiogenesis factor, a major component of human uterine angiogenesis factor, in human and bovine embryonic tissues and decidua (1992)

Embryonic development involves the establishment of new patterns of vascular growth in the fetus and within the lining of the womb. A factor, human uterine angiogenesis factor, has been purified from the decidua and stimulates the growth of blood vessels in collagen sponge implants and in the chick chorioallantoic membrane. Evidence is presented that suggests that a major active component of human uterine angiogenesis factor is an activator of latent matrix metalloproteinases, of low M(r), called endothelial-cell-stimulating angiogenesis factor and that this factor is present in substantial quantities in a number of embryonic tissues.
Synchronizing the IEEE 1149.1 test access port for chip level testability (2000)

IEEE STD 1149.9 is a widely accepted testability standard in the industry. Although its mandatory provisions focus narrowly on board level assembly verification testing, primarily via the boundary-scan register, its test access port (TAP) and many optional provisions make the standard usable for a much broader range of applications. Since its inception, numerous extensions and applications have been proposed that allow the standard's TAP to be used at the system level for general system-level test and maintenance tasks and at the chip level for accessing chip-level testability features. Chip-level applications thus far have used the port for accessing the chip's scan design or for simple triggering of on-chip built-in self-test features via the RUNBIST instruction. Applications requiring general access to chipwide testability features that operate at the full chip-clock rate have been rare, primarily because of one of the standard's basic tenets-namely, its dedicated test clock. This strategy enhances the test port to let it operate with two clocks. One is used while accessing IEEE 1149.1-compliant features, the other while accessing chip manufacturing test features.
A novel commercial break detection and automatic annotation of TV programs for content based retrieval (2010)

In this paper, we present a novel approach for automatic annotation and content based video retrieval by making use of the features extracted during the process of detecting commercial boundaries in a recorded Television (TV) program. In our approach, commercial boundaries are primarily detected using audio and the detected boundaries are enhanced and validated using logo (program name) in the video domain. Detected logo (program name) at the commercial boundaries is used for automatic annotation of recorded video which helps in fast content based video retrieval. The performance and validity of our approach is demonstrated using the videos recorded from different Indian Television broadcasts.
Radiation from Thin Plates Illuminated by Short Acoustic Pulses in Water (1971)

Schlieren observations of effects which occur when thin aluminum plates are illuminated by short acoustic pulses, in water, are presented. At specific angles of incidence, the formation of wavefronts pro-progressing along the plate is visible. A sequence of photographs showing the incident pulse, and at later times its effects, is made possible by the pulsed schlieren system. Meaningful predictions are made by Lamb's theory for infinite plates with stress-free surfaces even though the experiments involve water-loaded plates. Comparisons are made with previous results on cylindrical shells.
Hydrocarbon <font>C-H</font> bond activation by rhodium porphyrins (2004)

Rhodium porphyrins provide a variety of C-H bond reactions with both aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons that acquire unusual selectivity in part through the steric requirements of the porphyrin ligand. Rhodium(III) porphyrins selectively react with aromatic C-H bonds by electrophilic substitution with the virtual exclusion of aliphatic C-H bond activation. Rhodium(II) porphyrins react by a metal-centered radical pathway with alkyl aromatics and alkanes selectively at the alkyl C-H bond with total exclusion of aromatic C-H bond activation. Reactions of rhodium(II) metalloradicals with alkyl C-H bonds have large deuterium isotope effects, small activation enthalpies and large negative activation entropies consistent with a near linear symmetrical four-centered transition state ( Rh ˙⋯ H ⋯ C ⋯˙Rh). The nature of this transition state and the dimensions of rhodium porphyrins provide steric constraints that preclude aromatic C-H bond reactions and give high kinetic preference for methane activation as the smallest alkane substrate. Rhodium(II) tethered diporphyrin bimetalloradical complexes convert the C-H bond reactions to bimolecular processes with dramatically increased reaction rates and high selectivity for methane activation.
Denitrification in <i>Rhizobium</i> (1978)

Thirty-three strains of Rhizobium were examined for their reduction of nitrate under anoxic conditions. Three patterns of dissimilatory nitrate reduction were observed: (1) reduction to N2O and N2 (denitrification), (2) reduction to and subsequent accumulation of NO2- (nitrate respiration), (3) no reduction. Strains of R. japonicum and the cowpea miscellany displayed all three types, while strains of R. leguminosarum, R. phaseoli, and R. trifolii did not reduce nitrate by dissimilatory means. The production and subsequent metabolism of N2O was considerably different among the denitrifying strains: in some instances, N2O was a transient intermediate, while in others, it continued to accumulate during the incubation period.
