Use of simulation‐based mastery learning to improve the quality of central venous catheter placement in a medical intensive care unit (2009)

Simulation-based mastery learning increased residents' skills in simulated CVC insertion, decreased the number of needle passes when performing actual procedures, and increased resident self-confidence.
Effect of 2,4‐D on Cotton Yield, Floral Nectar, Seed Germination, and Honeybee Visits (1980)

In Arizona honey bees, Apis mellifera L., frequently visit cotton flowers, Gossypium hirsutum L., in sufficient numbers to adequately pollinate the male sterile flowers and produce hybrid cotton seed. Yet in some other states and at times in Arizona, honey bee visits to cotton flowers are low or erratic. Since hybrid cotton seed may be in demand in the near future, this study was made to determine how spraying 2,4‐D [(2,4‐dichlorophenoxy) acetic acid] on cotton plants affected honey bee visits, seed yields, and nectar secretion. Small concentrations of 2,4‐D were sprayed on five cotton cultivars at three locations in Arizona from 1975 to 1977. Each year, 1 ppm applied in 187 liters of water/ ha at the beginning of bloom increased the volume of floral nectar more than 30%. An application of 10 ppm was harmful to the plants. Application of 2,4‐D when plants started to flower increased the amount of nectar more than application 3 weeks earlier or application at both times. One ppm of 2,4‐D had no significant effect on cotton yields or sugar concentration of the floral nectar.This dosage also had no significant effect on honey bee visits during the only year, 1977, that visits were counted. However, this year the visits were relatively high in both the check and unsprayed plots. Results might be different when the bees are not visiting the flowers well. None of the levels of 2,4‐D applied (0.01, 0.1, 1.0, and 10.0 ppm) affected germination or weight of the seeds produced or caused damage to seedlings grown from the sprayed plants.
Conditional Convolutional Neural Network for Modality-Aware Face Recognition (2015)

Faces in the wild are usually captured with various poses, illuminations and occlusions, and thus inherently multimodally distributed in many tasks. We propose a conditional Convolutional Neural Network, named as c-CNN, to handle multimodal face recognition. Different from traditional CNN that adopts fixed convolution kernels, samples in c-CNN are processed with dynamically activated sets of kernels. In particular, convolution kernels within each layer are only sparsely activated when a sample is passed through the network. For a given sample, the activations of convolution kernels in a certain layer are conditioned on its present intermediate representation and the activation status in the lower layers. The activated kernels across layers define the sample-specific adaptive routes that reveal the distribution of underlying modalities. Consequently, the proposed framework does not rely on any prior knowledge of modalities in contrast with most existing methods. To substantiate the generic framework, we introduce a special case of c-CNN via incorporating the conditional routing of the decision tree, which is evaluated with two problems of multimodality - multi-view face identification and occluded face verification. Extensive experiments demonstrate consistent improvements over the counterparts unaware of modalities.
Denture‐related stomatitis: identification of aetiological and predisposing factors – a large cohort (2007)

The aim of this study was to identify and characterize aetiological and predisposing factors in denture-related stomatitis (DRS), by means of a case-control, transversal study, in a large cohort of 140 persons wearing removable maxillary polymethylamethacrylate prostheses. Data were obtained by (1) a questionnaire that included the identification of the subject, demographic and social data, medical history and behaviour; (2) intra-oral examination; (3) evaluation of the prosthesis; (4) microbiological examination; (5) yeast identification and analyses using Epi-info and the chi-square test. Results showed significant associations between DRS and yeasts, gender, age and alcohol consumption. We also found a significant relationship between the presence of yeasts and hyposalivation and decreased salivary pH. We found a highly significant difference between groups with and without DRS concerning the presence or absence of yeasts, regardless of the sample origin. Most cases of DRS showed the presence of Candida albicans. The results confirm a highly significant difference between groups with and without DRS concerning the presence or absence of yeasts.
Evaluation of biaxial tension tests of soft tissues. (2008)

Soft tissues are pseudoelastic anisotropic materials; various formulas for their strain energy density have been proposed for modelling of their constitutive behaviour. However, the individual variance of elastic parameters is often more pronounced than their anisotropy, so that their constitutive relations can be modelled as either isotropic or orthotropic. Any hyperelastic model requires more mechanical tests to be input for an identification of its parameters than mere uniaxial tension tests; especially biaxial tension tests are very important also for isotropic hyperelastic materials. A design of a testing rig produced in cooperation of our institute with some local companies is presented. It enables us to carry out not only equibiaxial tension tests, but also some other biaxial tensile tests, because displacements in both mutually perpendicular directions can be controlled independently. The proposal of various types of biaxial tests is presented in the paper, with examples of their realization with porcine aortic wall tissue. The contribution focuses on ways of evaluation of the results and on identification of parameters of various constitutive models. The use of more mechanical tests in identification of constitutive parameters can improve the predictive capability of the models substantially.
The giant panda as a social, biological and conservation phenomenon (2006)

The giant panda has captured the world's imagination. Its seemingly harmless, playful nature, velvety black and white fur, flat face, softly rounded body and soulful black eye patches combine to make it resemble an oversized and loveable teddy bear (Fig. 1.1). Its upright posture and famous ‘panda's thumb’ – an elongation of the wrist bone that allows it to grasp bamboo and other food much like people do – further adds to its widespread appeal. From the most prominent government authorities to young children, people are passionate about protecting the giant panda. This fervent interest has caused the panda to emerge as the most highly visible of all endangered species, even though few people have actually ever seen one in the wild. Furthermore, this single species has become a worldwide icon for the need to conserve animals, plants and habitats. Therefore, it is ironic that the giant panda, which evokes so much attention by the public, scientific and conservation communities, still remains such a mystery with so many pieces still missing from a biological jigsaw puzzle that, if solved, could improve species management, welfare and conservation. The purpose of this book is to provide, and then assemble, a few more pieces of this enormous puzzle.
FPGA based implementation of deep neural networks using on-chip memory only (2016)

Deep neural networks (DNNs) demand a very large amount of computation and weight storage, and thus efficient implementation using special purpose hardware is highly desired. In this work, we have developed an FPGA based fixed-point DNN system using only on-chip memory not to access external DRAM. The execution time and energy consumption of the developed system is compared with a GPU based implementation. Since the capacity of memory in FPGA is limited, only 3-bit weights are used for this implementation, and training based fixed-point weight optimization is employed. The implementation using Xilinx XC7Z045 is tested for the MNIST handwritten digit recognition benchmark and a phoneme recognition task on TIMIT corpus. The obtained speed is about one quarter of a GPU based implementation and much better than that of a PC based one. The power consumption is less than 5 Watt at the full speed operation resulting in much higher efficiency compared to GPU based systems.
Transcriptional Induction of the <i>agp/ebp</i> ( <i>c/ebp</i> β) Gene by Hepatocyte Growth Factor (1997)

Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is a pleiotropic factor with mitogenic, morphogenic, motogenic, cytotoxic, or growth inhibitory activity. Although the signaling of HGF is mediated through the cell membrane receptor c-Met, the molecular mechanism of downstream signal transduction remains obscure. In this report, we present evidence that shows HGF can stimulate the expression of AGP/EBP (C/EBPβ) and NF-κB, which are both key transcription factors responsible for the regulation of many genes under stress conditions or during the acute-phase response. Biochemical and functional analysis indicates that the HGF-responsive element is located in the region -376 to -352 (URE1) of the 5′-upstream regulatory sequence of agp/ebp. Activation of NF-κB by HGF was observed to precede the induction of agp/ebp. Further studies indicate that NF-κB can cooperate with AGP/EBP or other members of the C/EBP family to activate the agp/ebp gene in both URE1 and URE2-dependent manner. These results suggest that the induction of the agp/ebp gene by HGF is mediated at least in part by its activation of NF-κB. The activated NF-κB then interacts with AGP/EBP, resulting in the induction of agp/ebp.

Adrenergic Modulation of Basal Insulin Secretion in Man (1973)

In normal men of varying degrees of adiposity, alphaadrenergic blockade (one-hour intravenous infusion with phentolamine, 0.5 mg./min.) produced a 31 ± 23 per cent (mean ± S.D.) increase (n = 6, p &lt; .02) over basal insulin levels whereas beta-adrenergic blockade (one-hour intravenous infusion with propranolol, 0.08 mg./min.) produced a 38 ± 15 per cent decrease (n = 6, p &lt; .002) from basal insulin levels; basal glucose did not change during either type of blockade. Epinephrine (two-hour intravenous infusion, 6 /tg./min.) produced a 46 ± 8 per cent decrement in basal insulin by 7 ± 4 min. (n = 12, p &lt; .001). This was followed by a period of recovery during which insulin levels rose to control levels by 46 ± 26 minutes and to 166 ± 36 per cent of control (p &lt; .001) by two hours. The nadir of the decrement correlated, with a high degree of statistical significance, with basal insulin values (r = .99, p &lt; .001), and the amount of time required during the recovery phase for insulin levels to rise to control levels correlated highly with the nadir of the decrement (r = .83, p &lt; .001). The epinephrine-induced decrement from basal insulin did not occur in three subjects pretreated with phentolamine but did occur in four subjects pretreated with propranolol. In the four subjects pretreated with propranolol, the mean recovery time during epinephrine infusion was seventy-two minutes, compared to thirty-six minutes for the group receiving epinephrine alone. In four separate studies, propranolol was superimposed after two hours of a three-hour epinephrine infusion had elapsed, and the elevated insulin levels that had developed by two hours promptly fell below basal levels. It is concluded that (1) endogenous adrenergic activity modulates basal insulin secretion; (2) increases in circulating epinephrine prompt a rapid, marked fall in basal insulin which is alpha mediated; and (3) a slower, beta-mediated recovery phase follows during which insulin surpasses basal levels.
Digital audio watermarking in the cepstrum domain (2000)

Watermarking is a technique used to label digital media by hiding copyright or other information into the underlying data. The watermark must be imperceptible and undetectable by the user and should be robust to various types of distortion. We propose a new algorithm for digital audio watermarking in the cepstrum domain, where we insert a watermark into the cepstral components of the audio signal using techniques analogous to spread spectrum communications, hiding a narrow band signal in a wideband channel.
Reducing redundancy in IPFIX and PSAMP reports (2006)

This document describes a bandwidth saving method for exporting flow
or packet information using the IP Flow Information Export (IPFIX)
protocol. As the PSAMP protocol is based on IPFIX, these
considerations are valid for PSAMP exports as well. This method works
by separating information common to several flow records from
information specific to an individual flow record. Common flow
information is exported only once in a data record defined by an
option template, while the rest of the specific flow information is
associated with the common information via a unique identifier.

Should we stop using intravenous gentamicin in patients with cystic fibrosis? (2008)

Patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) have shown continual annual improvement in survival in many countries.1–4 The improvements in outcome have been attributed to better treatments and a multidisciplinary approach to care focused in care centres with specific expertise in CF.5–8 As survival improves, we may start increasingly to see adverse events related to intensive treatments used to battle the chronic airway infections and airway inflammation in CF.

Because of chronic lung infections, patients with CF receive repeated courses of oral, inhaled and intravenous antibiotics, some of which are known to be nephrotoxic drugs such as aminoglycosides. The primary defect in CF, the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator protein (CFTR), is expressed in the kidney but its function is unknown.9 In this issue of Thorax , Smyth and colleagues10 present data on the association of intravenous aminoglycosides—particularly gentamicin—and acute renal failure (ARF) in the UK ( see page 532 ). The authors have published a previous report in Thorax in which they established an incidence of ARF in CF of 4.6–10.5 cases per 10 000 patients per year.11 The associated use of aminoglycosides and renal failure in this population seemed clear, and most of the patients with ARF had received intravenous gentamicin treatment. In their current paper the authors have moved forward to assess these associations more formally by conducting a case-control study to determine which factors were associated with an increased risk of ARF in these patients. They found that intravenous aminoglycoside use (particularly gentamicin) was associated with ARF, with an odds ratio of 81.8 (95% CI 4.7 to 1427). When they evaluated aminoglycoside use during the previous year, gentamicin (and not tobramycin) was associated with ARF (gentamicin: 19/24 cases vs 1/42 controls, p<0.001; tobramycin: 9/24 cases vs 15/42 controls, p = 0.9). They also found that …
Automatic Soccer Video Event Detection Based on a Deep Neural Network Combined CNN and RNN (2016)

Soccer video semantic analysis has attracted a lot of researchers in the last few years. Many methods of machine learning have been applied to this task and have achieved some positive results, but the neural network method has not yet been used to this task from now. Taking into account the advantages of Convolution Neural Network(CNN) in fully exploiting features and the ability of Recurrent Neural Network(RNN) in dealing with the temporal relation, we construct a deep neural network to detect soccer video event in this paper. First we determine the soccer video event boundary which we used Play-Break(PB) segment by the traditional method. Then we extract the semantic features of key frames from PB segment by pre-trained CNN, and at last use RNN to map the semantic features of PB to soccer event types, including goal, goal attempt, card and corner. Because there is no suitable and effective dataset, we classify soccer frame images into nine categories according to their different semantic views and then construct a dataset called Soccer Semantic Image Dataset(SSID) for training CNN. The sufficient experiments evaluated on 30 soccer match videos demonstrate the effectiveness of our method than state-of-art methods.
Adherence of<i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>to Endothelial Cells: Influence of Capsular Polysaccharide, Global Regulator<i>agr</i>, and Bacterial Growth Phase (2000)

ABSTRACT The adherence of Staphylococcus aureus to human endothelial cells (EC) is probably an important step in the pathogenesis of systemic staphylococcal infections. We examined the influence of type 5 capsular polysaccharide (CP5) production, the global regulator agr , and the bacterial growth phase on S. aureus adherence to EC. Whereas S. aureus Newman showed maximal adherence to EC in the logarithmic phase of growth, an isogenic agr mutant showed maximal adherence in the stationary growth phase. S. aureus adherence to EC and CP5 expression were negatively correlated: a mutation in the agr locus diminished CP5 production and led to increased adherence. Likewise, induction of CP5 expression by addition of NaCl to the growth medium resulted in reduced staphylococcal adherence to EC. S. aureus Newman cells that adhered to EC did not express CP5. A Newman cap5O mutant was acapsular and showed significantly greater adherence to EC than the parental strain did ( P < 0.005). Complementation of the cap5O mutation in trans restored CP5 expression and reduced EC adherence to a level similar to that of the parental strain. The enhanced adherence shown by the cap5O mutant was similar in magnitude to that of the agr mutant or the cap5O agr double mutant. Cells of the cap5O mutant and cap5O agr double mutant harvested from stationary-phase cultures adhered significantly better than did cells harvested in the exponential growth phase. These data are consistent with the postexponential and agr -independent expression by S. aureus of at least one putative EC adhesin, whose binding domain may be masked by CP5.
Electrochemical Alternatives for Drinking Water Disinfection (2008)

Chlorination is the most common method worldwide for the disinfection of drinking water. However, the identification of potentially toxic products from this method has encouraged the development of alternative disinfection technologies. Among them, electrochemical disinfection has emerged as one of the more feasible alternatives to chlorination. This article reviews electrochemical systems that can contribute to drinking water disinfection and underscores the efficiency of recently developed diamond films in chlorine-free electrochemical systems.
Myeloid Commitment Shifts Toward Monocytopoiesis After Thermal Injury and Sepsis (2001)
