Perfect metamaterial absorber-based energy harvesting and sensor applications in the industrial, scientific, and medical band (2015)

An electromagnetic (EM) energy harvesting application based on metamaterials is introduced. This application is operating at the the industrial, scientific, and medical band (2.40 GHz), which is especially chosen because of its wide usage area. A square ring resonator (SRR) which has two gaps and two resistors across the gaps on it is used. Chip resistors are used to deliver the power to any active component that requires power. Transmission and reflection characteristics of the metamaterial absorber for energy harvesting application are theoretically investigated and 83.6% efficient energy harvesting application is realized. To prove that this study can be used for different sensor applications other than harvesting, a temperature sensor configuration is developed that can be applied to other sensing applications.
A Low-Power High-Performance H.264/AVC Intra-Frame Encoder for 1080pHD Video (2010)

H.264/AVC intra-frame encoding contains several computation-intensive coding tools that form a long data dependency loop that is difficult to speed up. In this paper, we present a low-power and high-performance H.264/AVC intra-frame encoder. We propose several novel approaches to alleviate the performance bottleneck caused by the long data dependency loop among 4 × 4 luma blocks, integrate an efficient CABAC entropy encoder, and apply a clock-gating technique to reduce power consumption. Synthesized into a TSMC 0.13 μm CMOS cell library, our design requires 265.3 K gates at 114 MHz and consumes 23.56 mW to encode 1080pHD (1920 × 1088) video sequences at 30 frames per second (fps). It also delivers the same video quality as the H.264/AVC reference software. Compared with all state-of-the-art designs, our design has a lower working frequency and achieves both better bit-rate saving and lower power consumption.
Measuring the Sentence Level Similarity (2013)

This article describes a method used to calculate the similarity between short English texts, specifically of sentence length. The described algorithm calculates semantic and word order similarities of two sentences. In order to do so, it uses a structured lexical knowledge base and statistical information from a corpus. The described method works well in determining sentence similarity for most sentence pairs, consequently the implemented method can be used in computer automated sentence similarity measurements and other text based mining problems. We encapsulated the implemented algorithm in a .NET library, to simplify the task of calculating sentence similarity for end users.
Haemodynamic effects of buprenorphine after heart surgery. (1978)

The effect of buprenorphine on the cardiovascular system was examined in 11 patients during the period of reduced cardiac reserve after open-heart surgery. Within 10 minutes of giving the full analgesic dose (5 microgram/kg) intravenously the mean heart rate had fallen significantly by six beats/min. Although in two patients the mean arterial pressure fell by 24 mm Hg, there was no overall change in mean arterial pressure, cardiac output, or peripheral resistance. In a further six patients buprenorphine was used successfully as the sole analgesic after open-heart surgery. Buprenorphine appears to be safer than morphine for use in patients with reduced cardiac reserve and is of similar analgesic efficacy.
The monopoly we had to have (2002)

Australia is to get the pay-TV monopoly it had to have. If the whole of Europe is struggling to sustain more than one or two major multichannel subscription-TV operators, the likelihood of more than one being viable in Australia was always slim.
An endosomally localized isoform of Eps15 interacts with Hrs to mediate degradation of epidermal growth factor receptor (2008)

Down-regulation of activated and ubiquitinated growth factor (GF) receptors by endocytosis and subsequent lysosomal degradation ensures attenuation of GF signaling. The ubiquitin-binding adaptor protein Eps15 (epidermal growth factor receptor [EGFR] pathway substrate 15) functions in endocytosis of such receptors. Here, we identify an Eps15 isoform, Eps15b, and demonstrate its expression in human cells and conservation across vertebrate species. Although both Eps15 and Eps15b interact with the endosomal sorting protein Hrs (hepatocyte growth factor-regulated tyrosine kinase substrate) in vitro, we find that Hrs specifically binds Eps15b in vivo (whereas adaptor protein 2 preferentially interacts with Eps15). Although Eps15 mainly localizes to clathrin-coated pits at the plasma membrane, Eps15b localizes to Hrs-positive microdomains on endosomes. Eps15b overexpression, similarly to Hrs overexpression, inhibits ligand-mediated degradation of EGFR, whereas Eps15 is without effect. Similarly, depletion of Eps15b but not Eps15 delays degradation and promotes recycling of EGFR. These results indicate that Eps15b is an endosomally localized isoform of Eps15 that is present in the Hrs complex via direct Hrs interaction and important for the sorting function of this complex.
N,N'-Diphenylguanidinium Nitrate (1998)

The cation of the title salt, CI3H14N~.NOf, is found to have a conformation with both phenyl rings lying in syn positions with respect to the unsubstituted N atom. The geometry of the guanidinium group is close to that expected for a central Cm_, atom. The structure is stabilized by a two-dimensional network of hydrogen bonds in the (100) plane, where the O atoms of the anion are acceptors from the N--H guanidinium groups.
The Legacy of the Stoke Newington Scandal (1999)

The Metropolitan Police Service's Operation Jackpot corruption investigation into allegations against Stoke Newington officers attracted widespread media attention throughout 1992, and disappeared without trace some two years later. Yet events at the beleagured station have had a more lasting effect on police administration. The law on evidence relevant to the credit of police officers in criminal proceedings was developed in R v Maxine Edwards. And payment of vast sums of money by the Commissioner to those who sued for damages after arrest by Stoke Newington officers has contributed to the law of civil actions against the police.

Strip Line with Rectangular Outer Conductor and Three Dielectric Layers (1970)

A general method is proposed for analyzing the transmission line characteristics of strip lines with rectangular outer conductor and multidielectric layers within a TEM wave approximation. This method uses Green's function for formulating the problem and a variational principle for obtaining practical solutions. The case of the microstrip line is first discussed, and numerical results are found to be consistent with other theories and experiments. The case of strip lines with a rectangular outer conductor and three dielectric layers is examined for various combinations of dielectric materials. Other applications of Green's function and the theoretical limitation of this method are also described.
The SIMNET virtual world architecture (2002)

Many tools and techniques have been developed to address specific aspects of interacting in a virtual world. Few have been designed with an architecture that allows large numbers of entities from disparate organizations to interact in such a world, in real time, and over large geographic distances. A system architecture that does this is described. The key technologies that have made these virtual worlds possible are discussed, and it is explained and how the technologies fit into the architecture. A sample implementation of this architecture, the SIMulation NETworking (SIMNET) system, is then presented, along with various design decisions and the reasoning behind them.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>

Learning and Teaching Programming: A Review and Discussion (2003)

In this paper we review the literature relating to the psychological/educational study of programming. We identify general trends comparing novice and expert programmers, programming knowledge and strategies, program generation and comprehension, and object-oriented versus procedural programming. (We do not cover research relating specifically to other programming styles.) The main focus of the review is on novice programming and topics relating to novice teaching and learning. Various problems experienced by novices are identified, including issues relating to basic program design, to algorithmic complexity in certain language features, to the “fragility” of novice knowledge, and so on. We summarise this material and suggest some practical implications for teachers. We suggest that a key issue that emerges is the distinction between effective and ineffective novices. What characterises effective novices? Is it possible to identify the specific deficits of ineffective novices and help them to become effective learners of programming?

Antifertility effect of Andrographis paniculata (Nees) in male albino rat. (1990)

Dry leaf powder of A. paniculata, when fed orally to male albino rats, at a dose level of 20 mg powder per day for 60 days, resulted in cessation of spermatogenesis, degenerative changes in the seminiferous tubules, regression of Leydig cells and regressive and/or degenerative changes in the epididymis, seminal vesicle, ventral prostate and coagulating gland. There was reduction in the weight and fluid content of the accessory glands. The treatment also resulted in accumulation of glycogen and cholesterol in the testis, and increased activities of lactate dehydrogenase in testis and alkaline phosphatase in testis and ventral prostate. The results suggest antispermatogenic and/or antiandrogenic effect of the plant.

Prediction of mechanical properties of superplastic Inconel* 718 using artificial neural networks (2002)

This paper examines the application of artificial neural networks (ANNs) in materials science and explains the process of using an ANN to develop a constitutive relationship for the widely used nickel based superalloy Inconel 718 (IN718) in the temperature range 950-980°C with strain rates of 10-4 and 10-3 s-1. These parameters are relevant to the high temperature forming of IN718 sheet. The mathematical form of the constitutive relationship derived is given and practical applications of its use are discussed. <br/>
Vertical integration of spin dependent tunnel junction and amorphous Si diode for MRAM application (1999)

This work demonstrates the successful vertical integration of magnetic tunneling junctions with hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) diodes. In the finished device over 8% current change was measured when the junction free layer is switched in an external magnetic field, applying 4.8V to the tunnel junction-diode series.
Rabbit articular cartilage defects treated with cultured costal chondrocytes (preliminary report). (2003)

An attempt to repair articular cartilage defects by costal chondrocytes transplantation was made. A full-thickness defect in the rabbit's femoral patellar groove was artificially made. Cultured costal cartilage chondrocytes were then transplanted into the defects and covered with periosteal flaps. Empty defects were used as the control group. Animals were divided into two groups (five rabbits each). They were examined after four and twelve weeks from the day of transplantation, respectively. The reparative tissue was evaluated by macroscopic and histological examinations. The reparative tissues in defects with transplanted chondrocytes had an hyaline-like cartilage appearance and were firmly attached to the surrounding normal cartilage. No trace of newly formed bone was detected. The reparative tissues found in defects that were left empty had a fibrous character. They were loosely connected to the surrounding cartilage and were more compliant than tissues from transplanted defects. Considering these initial findings, the ease of surgical procedures during the harvesting of the costal cartilage and few interventions into the joint make the costal cartilage a promising source of chondrocytes for transplantation. However, this needs to be confirmed on a larger scale over a longer period of time.
Automatic Image Enhancement Taking into Account User Preference (2019)

In these days, we can take many pictures everyday and everywhere with mobile devices such as smartphones. After taking a picture, we often modify it by using some image enhancement tools so that the appearance of the picture becomes favorable to his/her own preference. However, since there are many parameters in the enhancement functions, it is not an easy task to find an appropriate parameter set to obtain the desired result. Some tools have a function that automatically determine the parameters but they do not take into account the user's preference. In this paper, we present a system to address this problem. Our system first estimates the user's preference by using RankNet. Next, the image enhancement parameters are optimized to maximize the estimated preference. We show some experimental results to demonstrate the usefulness of our system.
Melt texturing of preferentially aligned YBa2Cu3O<i>x</i> superconductor by a seeded directional solidification method (1994)

Directional solidification has been shown to be capable of producing long lengths of melt-textured YBa2Cu3Ox. In order to maximize the current carrying capability of these superconductors, grain alignment needs to be directed along the sample axis. So far, this preferential grain alignment can only be achieved in samples of small cross-sectional areas. We have developed a seeded directional solidification method which allows the fabrication of long lengths of single-domained YBa2Cu3Ox with large cross-sectional areas and predetermined grain alignment. The current carrying capability of these superconductors is superior to that of the misaligned ones, and the Ic is estimated to be a few thousand amperes for samples of 4×8 mm2 cross-sectional area.
Design of an integrated information retrieval/database management system (1990)

To increase the semantics available in a database system it is useful to integrate it with the well-understood models, leading to ranked response of queries that characterize information retrieval systems. A novel, unified architecture is presented which provides the flexibility of integrating any information retrieval (IR) model with any type of database management system. More importantly, the approach provides for the ability to use 'aggregation' and 'generalization' operations automatically to provide more meaningful responses. In addition, this framework makes possible the systematic investigation of the potential of using IR models as a general tool for supporting management decisions.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Web-based Technologies for the Flipped College Classroom (2016)

Flipped classrooms present new opportunities for enhanced instruction that deepens critical thinking and creativity including authentic, discovery, and problem-based learning, team-driven collaboration, in-time assessment and real-time feedback, as well as personalized learning experiences. However, the implementation of this teaching structure comes with its own set of unique instructional considerations, including the organization of curriculum, design of learning activities and assessments in and outside the classroom, technology for course delivery and student learning, and both the accommodations and modifications to meet learners`` needs - all considerations that impact the role technology plays and which tools to select for flipping. While the most prevalent role of technology is in the creation and delivery of online presentations (i.e. the lecture and/or instructional material provided to students between one class and the next), other key roles are technology``s ability to bridge the online and classroom experiences, conduct formative and summative assessments, and enhance the classroom active learning experience. In this workshop, participants will explore free and open source webbased technologies that can be used to support both the online and the classroom components of a flipped classroom. Technologies will be selected from the American Association for School Librarians`` Best Websites for Teaching and Learning Award Winners, a list annually developed by an appointed committee of school librarians and university faculty. These free and open source web-based tools represent five broad categories: media sharing, digital storytelling, management & organization, social networking & communications, content resources, and curriculum collaboration.
Feedthrough EMI filter with ground isolation for cardiac pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (2002)

This paper describes an Isolated Ground Capacitor (IGC) electromagnetic interference (EMI) feedthrough filter that generally makes cardiac pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) immune to the RF fields generated by cellular phones and other emitters. The IGC filter consists of a monolithic ceramic capacitor (MLC) in a feedthrough configuration which is directly mounted onto the hermetic terminal of the implantable medical device. The IGC MLC employs unique electrode plate geometry and manufacturing techniques that provide for isolation of pacemaker or ICD circuitry from the titanium shield (ground plane).
Principle and Application of Remote Network Controllable Electronic Switch System (2010)

The hardware system can receive instructions through the network cable and control alternating voltage. The part of software is a management platform that controls long-distance power. This system is often used to control switches automatically. Using the management software, it can monitor the state of electric circuit and manage it. Especially it's beneficial to control the switches in dangerous occasions or far away.
Structure and Chemical Composition of Bast Fibers Isolated from Developing Hemp Stem (2005)

Microscopic and chemical changes of hemp bast fibers were studied during the maturation from vegetative to grain maturity stages at both apical and basal regions of the stems. The content of protein was the main factor related to fiber maturation, whereas increased proportions of mannose and glucose and decreasing levels of galactose were also highly significant. Enhanced glucose deposition in apical fibers could be related to the gradual thickening of the fibers, whereas in basal regions the thickness of the fibers nearly reached the maximum at vegetative stages. In contrast, the extent of lignification remained close to 3-4% during plant growth. Hemp fiber lignins were rich in guaiacyl units and would be rather condensed in nature. In addition, the proportion of p-hydroxyphenyl units displayed a constant decline during maturation. A progressive chemical fractionation of hemp fibers provided further insights to the occurrence and nature of noncellulosic polysaccharides. Notably, these data pointed out that maturation is accompanied by a significant increase in water- and alkali-soluble components containing glucose- and mannose-related polymers and a decrease in arabinose and galactose components disrupted by diluted hydrochloric acid. Taken together, chemical features of the noncellulosic components suggest that the architecture of hemp fibers differs slightly from that of the more widely studied flax fibers.
[Oxidative stress in bronchial asthma]. (2000)

Oxidative stress occurs when the antioxidative defence mechanism of the body are surpassed by the intra- and/or extracellular presence of reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS were involved in the etiopathogenesis of many disorders, but it is difficult to discern whether their role is decisive--as in the production of atherosclerosis--or only aggravating, as an intermediate link, this being the case in neoplasms. Today, the participation of ROS in the progression of some respiratory diseases, such as bronchial asthma, is considered essential. Thus, since the first description of asthma by Aretaeus of Cappadocia, a huge leap in the understanding of this disease was recorded, this condition being nowadays considered a chronic inflammatory disorders with the participation of oxidative stress. For ascertaining the share of oxidative stress in the determinism of this disease and the efficacy of antioxidants on its course further investigations are needed.
Compiling CSPs: A Complexity Map of (Non-Deterministic) Multivalued Decision Diagrams (2014)

Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs) offer a powerful framework for representing a great variety of problems. The difficulty is that most of the requests associated with CSPs are NP-hard. When these requests have to be addressed online, Multivalued Decision Diagrams (MDDs) have been proposed as a way to compile CSPs. In the present paper, we draw a compilation map of MDDs, in the spirit of the NNF compilation map, analyzing MDDs according to their succinctness and to their tractable transformations and queries. Deterministic ordered MDDs are a generalization of ordered binary decision diagrams to non-Boolean domains: unsurprisingly, they have similar capabilities. More interestingly, our study puts forward the interest of non-deterministic ordered MDDs: when restricted to Boolean domains, they capture OBDDs and DNFs as proper subsets and have performances close to those of DNNFs. The comparison to classical, deterministic MDDs shows that relaxing the determinism requirement leads to an increase in succinctness and allows more transformations to be satisfied in polynomial time (typically, the disjunctive ones). Experiments on random problems confirm the gain in succinctness.
