Shared Resource Multiprocessing (1972)

A good design is the Elderado in any systems area. The elements of good design include efficiency, simplicity, and flexibility for use. While we make no pretense that the ideas described in this paper are essential to good computer design, it seems to us that it does meet many of the criteria and avoids a number of the pitfalls associated with high performance computers.
Diffusion of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Treatments: Development Dissemination, and Implementation. (2004)

Theory and research regarding the diffusion of innovations and technology transfer have advanced our understanding of how new ideas and technologies are developed, disseminated, adopted, and implemented by individuals and organizations. Although diffusion has been studied in other fields, it is not often applied to mental health and substance abuse treatment. However, findings from diffusion-of-innovations research can assist in bridging research-practice gaps that lead to clients receiving treatments whose effectiveness has not been assessed or to clients not receiving the most effective treatments. This article reviews theory and research regarding the diffusion of innovations and highlights areas for application to mental health treatment, including the transportability of treatments into real-world settings, strategies to disseminate treatments, attributes of treatments that affect their adoption, and organizational change factors that affect implementation.
Optimization of drug‐eluting balloon use for safety and efficacy: Evaluation of the 2nd generation paclitaxel‐eluting DIOR‐balloon in porcine coronary arteries (2010)

Using the DIOR(2nd) (generation) DEB, a maximal balloon inflation time of 30-45 sec is optimal, reducing effectively the neointimal hyperplasia.
ACS: An Addressless Configuration Support for efficient partial reconfigurations (2008)

This paper presents a complete design of a reconfigurable architecture support system, called ACS (an Addressless Configuration Support), which provides efficient access to non-contiguous reconfigurable locations in reconfigurable systems. ACS reduces the amount of partial reconfiguration information required by removing a large amount of addressing information and padding as found in Virtex-4 bitstreams. ACS improves significantly on the distTree architecture previously proposed by us. ACS introduces the selector block which connects the leaf nodes to a consecutive block of reconfiguration locations called a frame set. The system allows any number of leaf nodes customised to the size of the device, thereby providing much more flexibility. The hardware costs have also been reduced significantly over the distTree design. Together with the new marker loading mechanism, ACS is readily applicable to SRAM-based FPGAs. This new ACS system is benchmarked using eight real-world applications against a Virtex-4 device and the results show 6.83%–15.07% speedups when the reconfiguration granularity is set to a Virtex-4 frame.
Study on Anti-Money Laundering Service System of Online Payment Based on Union-Bank Mode (2007)

Online payment becomes a convenient way to launder money with the development of e-commerce. In order to solve this problem, we constructed an anti-money laundering system as a service function of union-bank centre. This system can monitor and analyze the transaction data dynamically, and provide auxiliary judgment and the decision support for anti-money laundering. It utilized many technologies synthetically, such as multi-agent neural network, text mining, genetic algorithms, velocity analysis and case-based reasoning technologies to find out the hidden money laundering behavior. The logical frame of this system was proposed and some of the key technologies were introduced. Finally, we discussed the practicability and the development of this system and the union-bank online payment mode. In our opinion, this mode will become the lead online payment mode and its anti-money laundering service system will perform a very useful role.
Introduction to Expectations (1985)

This book is concerned with expectations in economics—that is, with anticipations or views about the future. Since 1930, when Irving Fisher introduced the ‘anticipated rate of inflation’ as the difference between the nominal and real interest rates, expectations have played an important role in economic theory. This is because economics is generally concerned with the implications of current actions for the future. The importance of expectations in money markets, stock markets and foreign exchange markets is quite obvious. Views about the future dominate the actions of traders. In mainstream macro- economic theory, the consumption function (via permanent income), the investment function (via expected demand), and the Phillips curve all require expectations to perform an important role. The development over the past thirty years of macroeconometric models has forced economists to recognise that expectations are not something to be treated as exogenous—which can be ignored at will—but instead are central to our understanding of how the economy works. Attention has switched from more or less mechanical forms of expectations generation which are essentially ad hoc to the theoretically attractive approach of the ‘rational expectations’ hypothesis. This states that agents use economic theory to form their expectations, and should not make systematic errors in their forecasts of the future.
Immunoadsorption in pemphigus (2006)

The principle of extracorporal immunoadsorption (IA) is based on affinity adsorption of pathogenic (auto-)antibodies and circulating immune complexes (CIC) which reversibly bind to an immobilized ligand of the adsorber. In pemphigus, a blistering autoimmune disease affecting skin and mucous membranes, autoantibodies, mainly of the IgG subclass are directed against desmosomal adhesion molecules and other non-desmosomal antigens on the surface of epidermal keratinocytes, such as acetylcholine receptors. The pathogenicity of these autoantibodies has been shown in various in vitro and in vivo systems. Recently, IA was applied in severe pemphigus demonstrating that a rapid and dramatic decline in desmoglein (Dsg)-reactive autoantibodies is accompanied by clinical remission of mucocutaneous blisters and erosions. As an adjuvant treatment, IA was combined with systemic immunosuppressive medication and current protocols initially apply treatment cycles of 3-4 IAs on consecutive days followed by immunoapheresis once a week or repeating the initial cycle in 4 week intervals depending on the disease activity. IA in pemphigus is generally safe and well tolerated.
Molecular modifiers of T cell antigen receptor triggering threshold: the mechanism of CD28 costimulatory receptor (2003)

CD28 was thought to represent a prototypic membrane receptor responsible for delivering the classically defined 'second signal' needed to avoid T cell paralysis when recognizing antigen presented by appropriate antigen presenting cells (APCs). Almost two decades after its molecular identification, the mechanism by which this 'second receptor' facilitates clonal expansion and differentiation upon antigen encounter is still not fully elucidated. There may be at least two reasons for this partially gray picture: the use of nonphysiological experimental conditions to study it and the fact that the action of CD28 may be partly masked by the presence of additional T cell surface receptors that also provide some costimulatory signals, although not equivalent to the one delivered through CD28. Thus, instead of aging, the study of CD28 is still a topical subject. What is appearing through work of recent years is that far from being purely qualitative, the CD28 signal provides a key quantitative contribution to potently boost the T cell antigen receptor (TCR) signal. In other words, CD28 is in part a signaling 'sosia' of the TCR. Also, it is clear now that CD28 operates via multiple molecular effects. Still, what we do not understand is the 'qualitative' part of this signal, perhaps due to lack of identification of unique signaling components and/or pathways activated by CD28 only. Here we review a series of recent findings pointing towards novel avenues to better understand the molecular basis of CD28 function.

Performance evaluation of channel estimation techniques in a multiple antenna OFDM system (2003)

A number of pilot-based channel estimation techniques are investigated for a multiple antenna system using the zero-forcing algorithm. The techniques are tested in typical indoor and outdoor (vehicular) channels. Performance results are presented in terms of bit error rate, mean squared error and data throughput. It is found that different pilot strategies offer the best performance in each environment, and hence an adaptive system should be considered.
A real time traffic control scheme for a multiple AGV system (2002)

The conflict-free minimum-time motion planning problem in a multiple AGV system using zone control requires a traffic control scheme based upon a non-search technique, since the number of nodes contained in the network model for its guidepath is considerably large. The traffic control scheme presented in this paper partitions the overall task into two constituent tasks of path generation and traffic control. The Path Generator employs a k-shortest path search algorithm to construct path sets between all possible station node pairs. The path generation process is performed in off-line. Occupation times for each link are calculated and stored in a link occupation table which is represented from a link-oriented viewpoint. The traffic controller examines the link occupation table and dispatches AGVs in a conflict-free minimum-time path. The on-line motion planning operation is performed in real time.

With the present level of radiocesium contamination, direct radiation effects have been hypothesised.
Flow Past Two Freely Rotatable Triangular Cylinders in Tandem Arrangement (2011)

In this paper we investigate the interaction of two freely rotatable triangular cylinders that are placed in tandem in a laminar flow. To study how the spacing between the two cylinders may influence the dynamic behavior of the cylinders and vortical structure of the flow, we have performed a series of numerical simulations of the two-cylinder-flow system. In all the simulations, the dimensionless moment of inertia and Reynolds number are fixed to 1.0 and 200, respectively. Four cases with the spacing ratio (L/D) of 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, and 5.0 are studied. With the increase of spacing, three different states of motion of the system are found. At L/D = 2.0, oscillatory rotation (swinging in both directions) is observed. At L/D = 3.0 both cylinders exhibit quasi-periodic autorotations. At L/D = 4.0 and 5.0, a more complicated pattern (irregular autorotation) is observed. For each case, the time history of angular velocity, the phase portrait (angular acceleration versus angular velocity,) and the spectra of the moments of forces on both cylinders are plotted and analyzed. The vortical structures in the near and far wake are visualized. Physical interpretations for various phenomenon observed are presented whenever possible.
Purification, NMR Study and Immunostimulating Property of a Fucogalactan from the Fruiting Bodies of<i>Ganoderma lucidum</i> (2008)

A water-soluble polysaccharide (LZ-D-1) was isolated from Ganoderma lucidum fruiting bodies by DEAE-Sepharose Fast Flow and Sephacryl S-300 high-resolution chromatography. The polysaccharide had a molecular weight of 2.8 x 10(4) Da and was mainly composed of L-Fuc, D-Glc and D-Gal in a molar ratio of ca.1 : 1 : 5. LZ-D-1 had a sugar content of 98.7 % as measured using the phenol-sulfuric acid method. On the basis of methylation analysis, FT-IR spectrum and NMR experiments, the structure of the repeating unit of the polysaccharide was established. LZ-D-1 had a backbone composed of 1,6-disubstituted alpha-D-galactopyranosyl, 1,2,6-trisubstituted alpha-D-galactopyranosyl and had a branch composed of fucose attached to O-2 of a 1,2,6-trisubstituted alpha-D-galactopyranosyl residue. At the same time, the polysaccharide contained some 1,6-disubstituted glucopyranosyl residues and 1,3-disubstituted glucopyranosyl residues. An immunostimulating experiment in vitro indicated that LZ-D-1 stimulated proliferation of mouse spleen lymphocytes.
Estimation of flows and temperatures in process networks (1977)

Abstract It is shown that temperatures and flows in a process network can be estimated from a quasi steady state model and a discrete Kalman filter. The data needed for such an application are readily available in many operating plants, and the computational requirements are within the capabilities of available process computers.

An Analysis of Non-Steady Plastic Shock Waves in Snow (1980)

Abstract The propagation of plastic shock waves in snow is analyzed in order to evaluate the effect of wave intensity and frequency content on attenuation. The results show that frequency content is not very significant and that large amplitude pressure waves lose their effectiveness very quickly. These results seem to support the present-day contention that air-induced explosions are a more effective means of controlling avalanches than explosives placed in the snow-pack and that explosive speed is not a particularly important factor in determining explosive effectiveness.
Drug Oxidation by Cytochrome P450<sub>BM3</sub>: Metabolite Synthesis and Discovering New P450 Reaction Types (2015)

There is intense interest in late-stage catalytic C-H bond functionalization as an integral part of synthesis. Effective catalysts must have a broad substrate range and tolerate diverse functional groups. Drug molecules provide a good test of these attributes of a catalyst. A library of P450BM3 mutants developed from four base mutants with high activity for hydrocarbon oxidation produced human metabolites of a panel of drugs that included neutral (chlorzoxazone, testosterone), cationic (amitriptyline, lidocaine) and anionic (diclofenac, naproxen) compounds. No single mutant was active for all the tested drugs but multiple variants in the library showed high activity with each compound. The high conversions enabled full product characterization that led to the discovery of the new P450 reaction type of oxidative decarboxylation of an α-hydroxy carboxylic acid and the formation a protected imine from an amine, offering a novel route to α-functionalization of amines. The substrate range and varied product profiles suggest that this library of enzymes is a good basis for developing late-stage C-H activation catalysts.
Effect of external magnetic field on the performance of composite wire structured magnetic inductors (2009)

In this paper, an investigation on the effect of the external magnetic field on the inductance, resistance and quality factor of the electrodeposited composite wire structured magnetic inductor is presented. The results showed the external field significantly influences the performance of the inductor, and there is a threshold value for the external field, above which the influence becomes insignificant. The influence also depends on the angle between the magnetic field direction and the longitudinal direction of the inductor. Such dependence becomes insignificant under certain conditions of the external field and the operating frequency.
Primary prevention of skin cancer: a review of sun protection in Australia and internationally (2004)

The incidence of skin cancer is increasing worldwide. Protecting the skin from the sun by wearing protective clothing, using a sunscreen with appropriate sun protection factor, wearing a hat, and avoiding the sun are recommended as primary preventive activities by cancer agencies. In this paper the recent data relating to skin cancer primary preventive behaviour in Australia and other countries is reviewed. Comparison of the studies in a table format summarizing the methods, objectives, participants, findings and implications may be obtained from the corresponding author. The sun protection knowledge, attitudes and behaviour patterns observed in Australia are similar in other countries, although Australian studies generally report higher knowledge levels about skin cancer and higher levels of sun protection. The findings suggest that sunscreen is the most frequent method of sun protection used across all age groups, despite recommendations that it should be an adjunct to other forms of protection. While young children's sun protective behaviour is largely influenced by their parents' behaviours, they are still under protected, and sun protective measures such as seeking shade, avoiding the sun and protective clothing need to be emphasized. Adolescents have the lowest skin protection rates of all age groups. Within the adult age range, women and people with sensitive skin were most likely to be using skin protection. However, women were also more likely than men to sunbath deliberately and to use sun-tanning booths. The relationship between skin protection knowledge and attitudes, attitudes towards tanning and skin protection behaviour needs further investigation. Further studies need to include detailed assessments of sunscreen use and application patterns, and future health promotion activities need to focus on sun protection by wearing clothing and seeking shade to avoid increases in the sunburn rates observed to date.
Smartphone-Based Data Acquisition for an Undergraduate Course on Aircraft Flight Testing (2012)

This paper describes a development in university-level flight testing courses that brings advanced instrumentation into common use. The basis for the potential proliferation of technology is smartphone-based data acquisition. Smartphones, now ubiquitous amongst the undergraduate student population, have an advanced suite of built-in sensors that are highly useful for aircraft flight test data acquisition. This paper describes the development of data acquisition techniques and flight testing methods for smartphones in a senior-level course on Aircraft Flight Test Engineering at The Ohio State University. Results from smartphones are compared with traditional data acquisition techniques as well as advanced data acquisition using more expensive instrumentation. The advantages and limitations of smartphone-based data acquisition are discussed in the context of a range of flight test investigations including airspeed calibration, stall, takeoff, climb, glide, and dynamic longitudinal stability. The educational impact of these advanced data acquisition methods is also discussed.
DA-Net: Learning the Fine-Grained Density Distribution With Deformation Aggregation Network (2018)

The major challenges for accurate crowd counting stem from the large variations in the scale, shape, and perspective. In fact, dealing with such difficulties depends on the geometric transformation capabilities of the network. Thus, we propose the deformation aggregation network (DA-Net) that can incrementally incorporate adaptive receptive fields to capture the fine-grained density distribution. Our model starts from a fundamental diamond network based on the successive steps of rising and falling on the channels, which utilizes small-fixed kernels accounting for preserving spatial information. For sake of accommodating to scale variations, we further apply deformable convolutions to deliver precise localization by augmenting the spatial sampling locations with additional offsets, capable of transformation-invariant speciality on diverse scenes. In addition, we assign adjustable weights to supervise network to learn the fusion proportion adaptively and aggregate multiple levels of abstractions to get the final density map. DA-Net is a fully convolutional network that is able to take input of arbitrary size. The proposed method delivers the state-of-the-art performance on four benchmarks (ShanghaiTech, WorldExpo'10, UCSD, and UCF_CC_50). To further verify the generality of our model, we conduct an extended experiment on vehicle data set TRANCOS and achieve significant results.
