Testing an Unresponsive Computer (1995)

An unresponsive computer is one that does not communicate with the operator through the normal operator display device, for example VDU (terminal) or numerical display. When switched on the computer appears to be ‘dead’, for example (a) an office computer (or home computer) produces a blank CRT display; (b) an industrial control computer does not respond to manual or automatic signal stimulus; (c) a microcomputer system in the form of a microprocessor-based peripheral, for example printer or VDU, is totally inactive.
Environmental sound event detection in wireless acoustic sensor networks for home telemonitoring (2017)

In this paper, we present an approach to improve the accuracy of environmental sound event detection in a wireless acoustic sensor network for home monitoring. Wireless acoustic sensor nodes can capture sounds in the home and simultaneously deliver them to a sink node for sound event detection. The proposed approach is mainly composed of three modules, including signal estimation, reliable sensor channel selection, and sound event detection. During signal estimation, lost packets are recovered to improve the signal quality. Next, reliable channels are selected using a multi-channel cross-correlation coefficient to improve the computational efficiency for distant sound event detection without sacrificing performance. Finally, the signals of the selected two channels are used for environmental sound event detection based on bidirectional gated recurrent neural networks using two-channel audio features. Experiments show that the proposed approach achieves superior performances compared to the baseline.
Epitaxial Lateral Overgrowth of GaAs: Principle and Growth Mechanism (1999)

The results on growth mechanism of GaAs layers by epitaxial lateral overgrowth (ELO) technique from the liquid phase are reviewed. In particular, effects of melt supersaturation, seed orientation, density of surface steps and growth temperature on properties of ELO layers are discussed. It is shown that the results obtained are not a specific attribute of LPE ELO growth of GaAs layers on GaAs substrates but represent a more general phenomena encountered during the ELO growth of other epitaxial systems.

The SP Log in Shaly Sands (1950)

Abstract As a continuation of the earlier paper on the general subject of the SP log, amore complete analysis of certain features of the SP log in shaly sands isgiven. The pseudo-static SP in front of shaly sands is compared, on atheoretical basis, to the static SP in front of clean sands, as a function ofthe respective amount of shale and sand in the formation, and of the relativeresistivities of the shale, of the uncontaminated part of the sand, and of theinvaded zone of the sand. As a conclusion, the advantage of using reasonably conductive mud in this caseis shown. The discussion is illustrated by field examples. Introduction The discussion reported in the present paper is based on a theoreticalanalysis, and not on experiment. The field examples, joined to the text, areshown only as qualitative illustrations of the essential results of thisanalysis. Although the hypotheses made in the theoretical developments mayperhaps be somewhat improved, it seems, nevertheless, that the results obtainedaccount reasonably well for the actual phenomena, and give a fair approximationof their order of magnitude. The paper contains a mathematical analysis of a tri-dimensional distribution ofpotentials and current lines, due to spontaneous electromotive forces arisingat the contact of shales and free electrolytes, as a function of the geometryand of the respective resistivities of the different media involved. It isassumed, although this hypothesis is not proven, that the emf's remain the sameeven if the shale occurs in very thin layers or in dispersed particles. It has already been pointed out that, all other conditions being the same, thedeflection of the SP log in front of a shaly sand is smaller than opposite aclean sand. When the thickness and the conductivity of a clean sand are largeenough, the deflection of the SP log reaches a limiting value which is equal tothe "static SP" of the clean sand. It is generally convenient to takethe static SP of shale as the reference value or "base line." As aconsequence, and for the sake of abbreviation, the expression, "static SPof a clean sand," is often used to designate the difference between thestatic SP of that sand and that of the shales, which difference is a measure ofthe total electromotive forces involved in the chain mud sand-shale.

The role of peptide YY in gastrointestinal diseases and disorders (2012)

Peptide YY (PYY) is affected in several gastrointestinal diseases and disorders. Changes in PYY appear to be an adaptive response to alterations in pathophysiological conditions caused by the disease. This applies to gastrointestinal diseases/disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, celiac disease, systemic sclerosis, and post-intestinal resection. By contrast, the changes in PYY in chronic idiopathic slow transit constipation (CST) seem to be of a primary nature, and may be one etiological factor of the disease. Abnormalities in PYY seem to contribute to the development of symptoms present in irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, gastroenteropathy in long-standing diabetes and CST. The changes in PYY could, however, be favorable in some gastrointestinal disorders such as celiac disease, systemic sclerosis and post-intestinal resection state. Investigating changes in PYY in gastrointestinal diseases/disorders could be beneficial in clinical practice, where a receptor agonist or an antagonist can be used as a drug, depending on the condition. Similar to other neuroendocrine peptides/amines of the gut, PYY has broad physiological/pharmacological effects: it can bind to and activate several receptors with independent actions. Thus, in order to use PYY as a drug, receptor-specific agonists or antagonists need to be developed.
Biodegradable nanoparticles of methoxy poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly( d, l-lactide)/methoxy poly(ethylene glycol)- b-poly(ϵ-caprolactone) blends for drug delivery (2012)

The effects of blend weight ratio and polyester block length of methoxy poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly( d, l-lactide) (MPEG- b-PDLL)/methoxy poly(ethylene glycol)- b-poly(ϵ-caprolactone) (MPEG- b-PCL) blends on nanoparticle characteristics and drug release behaviors were evaluated. The blend nanoparticles were prepared by nanoprecipitation method for controlled release of a poorly water-soluble model drug, indomethacin. The drug-loaded nanoparticles were nearly spherical in shape. The particle size and drug loading efficiency slightly decreased with increasing MPEG- b-PCL blend weight ratio. Two distinct thermal decomposition steps from thermogravimetric analysis suggested different blend weight ratios. Thermal transition changes from differential scanning calorimetry revealed miscible blending between MPEG- b-PDLL and MPEG- b-PCL in an amorphous phase. An in vitro drug release study demonstrated that the drug release behaviors depended upon the PDLL block length and the blend weight ratios but not on PCL block length.
The Cardiac Effect of Altered Calcium Homeostasis after Albumin Resuscitation (1981)

Supplemental albumin added to a standard non-albumin resuscitation regimen has been shown to significantly impair heartwork in seriously injured patients. The role of calcium dynamics in this myocardial depression was analyzed in 94 injured patients who were in shock for an average of 32 minutes, received an average of 14.5 transfusions, 9.2 L crystalloid, 0.9 L plasma, and 20.9 mEq calcium prior to the end of operation. By random selection, 44 patients received an average of 31 gms of albumin during operation, 207 gms during the early postoperative period (mean = 30 hrs) of extravascular fluid sequestration, and 402 gm during the mobilization period. The albumin resuscitated patients had normal total protein and serum albumin levels and higher total calcium (TC) levels, however, they had a significantly lower Ca++ and Ca++/TC. The accumulative slope for heartwork/filling pressure was significantly depressed in albumin patients as was the mean work unit/filling pressure index. The level of Ca++ and the Ca++/TC ratio correlated directly with the calculated work unit index in both the albumin and non-albumin patients. This suggests that a supplemental albumin binds serum Ca++ causing an increase in TC but a reduction in Ca++ and Ca++/TC. The fall in Ca++ and Ca++/TC seems responsible, in part, for heart failure and pulmonary edema in albumin resuscitated patients.
Polymorphisms of dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase gene and clinical outcomes of gastric cancer patients treated with fluorouracil-based adjuvant chemotherapy in Chinese population. (2012)

These results suggest that polymorphisms of rs1801159 in DPYD may be used as valuable predictors of the response to fluorouracil-based chemotherapy for gastric cancer patients in the Chinese population. Well-designed, comprehensive, and prospective studies on determining these polymorphisms of DPYD as predictive markers for gastric cancer in response to fluorouracil-based therapies are warranted.

VoIP Performance in SIP-Based Vertical Handovers Between WLAN and GPRS/UMTS Networks (2007)

This paper experimentally analyzes the handover performance of VoIP sessions in a wireless overlay of 802.11 WLANs and GPRS/UMTS networks when mobility is handled at the application layer by SIP. It also assesses the impact of handovers on the VoIP call quality perceived by the user by means of the extended E-model. The study reveals that good performance values are achieved when handing over from GPRS/UMTS to WLAN. Additionally, acceptable quality is obtained for handovers from WLAN towards UMTS. On the other hand, unacceptable values are achieved when moving towards GPRS. The main reason is the delay experienced by SIP messages when traversing the cellular network.

Thermally assisted magnetization reversal in the presence of a spin-transfer torque (2004)

We propose a generalized stochastic Landau-Lifshitz equation and its corresponding Fokker-Planck equation for the magnetization dynamics in the presence of spin-transfer torques. Since the spin-transfer torque can pump a magnetic energy into the magnetic system, the equilibrium temperature of the magnetic system is ill defined. We introduce an effective temperature based on a stationary solution of the Fokker-Planck equation. In the limit of high-energy barriers, the law of thermal agitation is derived. We find that the N\'eel-Brown relaxation formula remains valid as long as we replace the temperature by an effective one that is linearly dependent on the spin torque. We carry out the numerical integration of the stochastic Landau-Lifshitz equation to support our theory. Our results agree with existing experimental data.
Team Structure Modelling of Defaultable Bonds (1997)

In this paper we present a model of the development of the term structure of defaultable interest rates that is based on a multiple-defaults model. Instead of modelling a cash payoff in default we assume that defaulted debt is restructured and continues to be traded. The model allows for loss quotas that are not predictable while maintaining a very close link to the modelling of default-free interest rate modelling. We use the Heath-Jarrow-Morton (HJM) [21] approach to represent the terms structure of defaultable bond prices in terms of forward rates and concentrate on modelling the development of the term structure of the defaultable bonds and give conditions under which these dynamics are arbitrage-free. These conditions are drift restriction that is closely related to the HJM drift restriction for risk-free bonds, and the restriction that the defaultable short rate must always be not below the risk-free short rate. By keeping mechanism that triggers the defaults as general as possible, it is shown that the HJM-drift conditions must also be satisfied by bond prices derived from firms value models with predictable times of default, and not only by bond prices derived from intensity based models. In its most general version the model is set in a marked point process framework, to allow for jumps in the defaultable rates at times of default.

VEAL: Virtualized Execution Accelerator for Loops (2008)

Performance improvement solely through transistor scaling is becoming more and more difficult, thus it is increasingly common to see domain specific accelerators used in conjunction with general purpose processors to achieve future performance goals. There is a serious drawback to accelerators, though: binary compatibility. An application compiled to utilize an accelerator cannot run on a processor without that accelerator, and applications that do not utilize an accelerator will never use it. To overcome this problem, we propose decoupling the instruction set architecture from the underlying accelerators. Computation to be accelerated is expressed using a processorpsilas baseline instruction set, and light-weight dynamic translation maps the representation to whatever accelerators are available in the system. In this paper, we describe the changes to a compilation framework and processor system needed to support this abstraction for an important set of accelerator designs that support innermost loops. In this analysis, we investigate the dynamic overheads associated with abstraction as well as the static/dynamic tradeoffs to improve the dynamic mapping of loop-nests. As part of the exploration, we also provide a quantitative analysis of the hardware characteristics of effective loop accelerators. We conclude that using a hybrid static-dynamic compilation approach to map computation on to loop-level accelerators is an practical way to increase computation efficiency, without the overheads associated with instruction set modification.
In-Flight Suppressant Deployment Temperatures (2006)

Abstract : This report describes review of DoD military fixed-wing and rotary aircraft fire mishap/incident data applicable to assess temperatures at which aircraft fire suppressants have been deployed in engine nacelle and APU compartment fires. Another model is also described, which was constructed to assess predicted nacelle compartment air temperatures at altitude, also taking into consideration aircraft airspeed, average nacelle airflow velocity, average engine case surface temperature, and average nacelle physical characteristics. An assessment is made of the model output versus some aircraft measurement data, fire suppressant boiling point criterion, as well as the history of altitude/temperature at which fire suppressants have been deployed. Additional analysis is also described that assessed aircraft operation in cold conditions, where the limiting temperature for fire suppressant release during take-off may be close to the (low) ground temperature. Risk assessments are also presented to quantify rate of occurrence of nacelle/ APU fires and rates in which suppressants have been deployed taking into consideration altitude thresholds.
STABILIZATION OF A CLASS OF NONLINEAR NON‐MINIMUM PHASE SYSTEMS (2000)

ABSTRACT This paper tackles the problem of stabilization of a class of non‐minimum phase nonlinear systems which have zero dynamics with an eigenvalue zero of multiplicity 2. By adding some new terms, called cross terms, we are able to generalize the concept of the Lyapunov function with a homogeneous derivative along the trajectory, which was introduced in [4], to produce a suitable Lyapunov function. The Lyapunov function assures that the stability of an approximate system, which consists of some lower order terms of a nonlinear system with an eigenvalue zero of multiplicity 2, implies the stability of the whole system. Applying these to non‐minimum phase zero dynamics of nonlinear systems with such a center, a sufficient condition and a design method of state feedback control are obtained for stabilizing the systems.
Logical time (2011)

MARTE/CCSL specifications express chronological and causal relations on UML models. In a previous work, we proposed a mechanism to verify Esterel implementations against MARTE/CCSL specifications. The mechanism was thought to be general enough to be extended to other languages. However, preserving the polychronous semantics of CCSL was pretty easy with a synchronous language but is much harder when the target language does not directly support coincidence/simultaneity. We show here how coincidence can be encoded. The process is illustrated using VHDL
Tunnel Diode Nanosecond Coincidence Circuit (1961)

A fast coincidence circuit using tunnel diodes is described. In ideal conditions, resolving times as low as 0.5 nsec have been measured. But in a practical case of beam particles crossing scintillation counters, a typical resolving time is ≈1.5 nsec. The same circuit can also be used as an anticoincidence whose total dead time can be as low as 5 nsec.
3D model selection from an internet database for robotic vision (2009)

We propose a new method for automatically accessing an internet database of 3D models that are searchable only by their user-annotated labels, for using them for vision and robotic manipulation purposes. Instead of having only a local database containing already seen objects, we want to use shared databases available over the internet. This approach while having the potential to dramatically increase the visual recognition capability of robots, also poses certain problems, like wrong annotation due to the open nature of the database, or overwhelming amounts of data (many 3D models) or the lack of relevant data (no models matching a specified label). To solve those problems we propose the following: First, we present an outlier/inlier classification method for reducing the number of results and discarding invalid 3D models that do not match our query. Second, we utilize an approach from computer graphics, the so called ‘morphing’, to this application to specialize the models, in order to describe more objects. Third, we search for 3D models using a restricted search space, as obtained from our knowledge of the environment. We show our classification and matching results and finally show how we can recover the correct scaling with the stereo setup of our robot.
Fibrous particle filtration (1993)

This article discusses how filtration of air inside industrial facilities is essential to remove process generated particles. Filtration of particulate matter creates a safer working environment, decreases plant maintenance costs, and increases equipment life. It also may be required by OSHA regulations. The baghouse (fabric filter) is arguably the best method for the majority of situations where large volumes of air have to be filtered for particulate matter. The baghouse is simple in overall design, and bag cleaning advancements and decades of proven performance have made it the best choice for many industrial applications. Nevertheless, in many fibrous particle applications, baghouse performance is surpassed by drum filtration. However, industries that generate mostly fibrous particles comprise less than 10% of all industries that require indoor air filtration. (The accompanying sidebar lists six fibrous particle characteristics.)
