Propulsion experimental Research on the Structure of Swordfish’s Lunate Caudal Fin (2010)

Swordfish is the fastest fish in the world, which can reach a high speed of 110km/h. Depending on the swing of the caudal fin, swordfish gets the power of swimming. The caudal fin of the swordfish shows crescent and wide broadening which exceed the highest part of the body. The unique caudal fin of the swordfish and the way of swing are the main reasons for swimming fast. By testing and analyzing the structure of caudal fin of swordfish, it is built the parametric description of the geometric structure .R1 and R2 are radius of the two circles, and that R1＜R2, A is center distance of two circles. The two circles intersect to form the shape of crescent. This research choose the R1、R2 and A as parameters, then make a geometric shape description of crescent.The research optimizes the structure parameter of swordfish’s caudal fin by the method of experimental optimization. The experiment result shows that the smaller aspect ratio may have grater propulsion (R2 much bigger than R1, aspect ratio close to 2) when the swing frequency above the 2Hz and the increasing aspect ratio may enhance the propulsion when the swing frequency below the 2Hz.Keywords: Propulsion; Lunate Caudal Fin; Optimization; Swordfish
Arthritis among veterans - United States, 2011-2013. (2014)

Arthritis is among the most common chronic conditions among veterans and is more prevalent among veterans than nonveterans. Contemporary population-based estimates of arthritis prevalence among veterans are needed because previous population-based studies predate the Persian Gulf War, were small, or studied men only despite the fact that women comprise an increasing proportion of military personnel and typically have a higher prevalence of arthritis than men. To address this knowledge gap, CDC analyzed combined 2011, 2012, and 2013 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) data among all adults aged ≥18 years, by veteran status, to estimate the total and sex-specific prevalence of doctor-diagnosed arthritis overall and by sociodemographic categories, and the state-specific prevalence (overall and sex-specific) of doctor-diagnosed arthritis. This report summarizes the results of these analyses, which found that one in four veterans reported that they had arthritis (25.6%) and that prevalence was higher among veterans than nonveterans across most sociodemographic categories, including sex (prevalence among male and female veterans was 25.0% and 31.3%, respectively). State-specific, age-standardized arthritis prevalence among veterans ranged from 18.8% in Hawaii to 32.7% in West Virginia. Veterans comprise a large and important target group for reducing the growing burden of arthritis. Those interested in veterans' health can help to improve the quality of life of veterans by ensuring that they have access to affordable, evidence-based, physical activity and self-management education classes that reduce the adverse effects of arthritis (e.g., pain and depression) and its common comorbidities (e.g., heart disease and diabetes).
Automatic Road Extraction from Satellite Images Using Extended Kalman Filtering and Efficient Particle Filtering (2011)

Users of geospatial data in government, military, industry, research, and other sectors have need for accurate display of roads and other terrain information in areas where there are ongoing operations or locations of interest. Hence, road extraction that is significantly more automated than the employment of costly and scarce human resources has become a challenging technical issue for the geospatial community. An automatic road extraction based on Extended Kalman Filtering (EKF) and variable structured multiple model particle filter (VS-MMPF) from satellite images is addressed. EKF traces the median axis of a single road segment while VS-MMPF traces all road branches initializing at the intersection. In case of Local Linearization Particle filter (LLPF), a large number of particles are used and therefore high computational expense is usually required in order to attain certain accuracy and robustness. The basic idea is to reduce the whole sampling space of the multiple model system to the mode subspace by marginalization over the target subspace and choose better importance function for mode state sampling. The core of the system is based on profile matching. During the estimation, new reference profiles were generated and stored in the road template memory for future correlation analysis, thus covering the space of road profiles. .

Utilising Refactoring To Restructure Use-Case Models (2007)

Use case refactoring is one of the recent software engineering techniques that aimed at synthesising and refining use case models. Two new types of use case refactoring are proposed in this paper. First, behavioural refactorings aimed at synthesising the presentation and understanding of the described services. Second, structural refactorings aimed at refining and simplifying the different relationships between the following pairs: (1) concrete and abstract use cases, and (2) use cases and actors. The application of the proposed refactorings on a real use case model showed that the advantages of use case refactorings are not limited to the target use case models only, but on their relationsips with other software engineering artefacts. These include the facilitation of the extraction and utilisation of (1) use case patterns, (2) software metrics, and (3) software cost estimates from use case models. Further work is being carried out to automate the process of use case refactoring and integrate it with the underlying software development process.
On model selection and the disability of neural networks to decompose tasks (2003)

A neural network with fixed topology can be regarded as a parametrization of functions, which decides on the correlations between functional variations when parameters are adapted. We propose an analysis, based on the differential geometry, that allows one to calculate these correlations. In practise, this describes how one response is unlearned while another is trained. Concerning conventional feed-forward neural networks we find that they generically introduce strong correlations, are predisposed to forgetting and inappropriate for task decomposition. Perspectives to solve these problems are discussed.
Use of measures of endothelial function to stratify risk. (2001)

Measures of endothelial dysfunction can be used to stratify risk in coronary artery disease and diabetes. Two studies are reviewed in which endothelial dysfunction was shown to be associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events and to predict long term atherosclerotic disease. A study that showed reduced microvascular and macrovascular reactivity in subjects at risk for type 2 diabetes, and a study indicating that endothelial dysfunction precedes the development of microalbuminuria in type 1 diabetes are reviewed.
A Novel Method for Obtaining Polycrystalline Diamond Cutters (2010)

The present work comprises a study about the possibility of obtaining polycrystalline diamond cutters through a novel method of sintering both layers at the same time. This possibility was tested through the sintering of a diamond layer over a hard metal (WC+15wt%Co) support under conditions of 5.0 and 6.5 GPa of pressure and 1400 to 1600º C of temperature. The sintering conditions were imposed in two ways: directly, or with pre-sintering. The samples were tested by measuring microhardness, wear resistance, densification, and SEM. The results of the tests have shown the possibility of obtaining good quality inserts by sintering both layers of compacted powder.
Strategies to Genetically Modulate Dendritic Cells to Potentiate Anti-Tumor Responses in Hematologic Malignancies (2018)

Dendritic cell (DC) vaccination has been investigated as a potential strategy to target hematologic malignancies, while generating sustained immunological responses to control potential future relapse. Nonetheless, few clinical trials have shown robust long-term efficacy. It has been suggested that a combination of surmountable shortcomings, such as selection of utilized DC subsets, DC loading and maturation strategies, as well as tumor-induced immunosuppression may be targeted to maximize anti-tumor responses of DC vaccines. Generation of DC from CD34+ hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) may provide potential in patients undergoing allogeneic HSPC transplantations for hematologic malignancies. CD34+ HSPC from the graft can be genetically modified to optimize antigen presentation and to provide sufficient T cell stimulatory signals. We here describe beneficial (gene)-modifications that can be implemented in various processes in T cell activation by DC, among which major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I and MHC class II presentation, DC maturation and migration, cross-presentation, co-stimulation, and immunosuppression to improve anti-tumor responses.
[The neurophysiological correlates of the processes of decision making in the cerebral cortex during visual recognition in monkeys]. (1994)

In behavioral experiments on monkeys tested for a delayed visual differentiation of different colours stimuli, neuronal pools were recorded simultaneously in the visual, prefrontal and inferotemporal cortex. Wrong motor responses were always followed by considerable readjustments of the unit activity patterns whereas in right decisions a synchronisation and a cross-correlation occurred between neuronal pools. Possible mechanisms of the decision making and the reasons for the desynchronisation in wrong responses, are discussed.
Quantitative assessment of enzyme specificity <i>in vivo</i> : P <sub>2</sub> recognition by Kex2 protease defined in a genetic system (1998)

The specificity of the yeast proprotein-processing Kex2 protease was examined in vivo by using a sensitive, quantitative assay. A truncated prepro-alpha-factor gene encoding an alpha-factor precursor with a single alpha-factor repeat was constructed with restriction sites for cassette mutagenesis flanking the single Kex2 cleavage site (-SLDKR downward arrowEAEA-). All of the 19 substitutions for the Lys (P2) residue in the cleavage site were made. The wild-type and mutant precursors were expressed in a yeast strain lacking the chromosomal genes encoding Kex2 and prepro-alpha-factor. Cleavage of the 20 sites by Kex2, expressed at the wild-type level, was assessed by using a quantitative-mating assay with an effective range greater than six orders of magnitude. All substitutions for Lys at P2 decreased mating, from 2-fold for Arg to >10(6)-fold for Trp. Eviction of the Kex2-encoding plasmid indicated that cleavage of mutant sites by other cellular proteases was not a complicating factor. Mating efficiencies of strains expressing the mutant precursors correlated well with the specificity (kcat/KM) of purified Kex2 for comparable model peptide substrates, validating the in vivo approach as a quantitative method. The results support the conclusion that KM, which is heavily influenced by the nature of the P2 residue, is a major determinant of cleavage efficiency in vivo. P2 preference followed the rank order: Lys > Arg > Thr > Pro > Glu > Ile > Ser > Ala > Asn > Val > Cys > AsP > Gln > Gly > His > Met > Leu > Tyr > Phe > Trp.
Mobile application testing &#x2014; Challenges and solution approach through automation (2013)

By the time this paper has been presented, the mobile app landscape will have changed. New OS versions will have been released. A bunch of new devices will have hit the market. And mobile application testing will have become that much more complex and challenging for all of us. There is no doubt that mobile applications need specific testing approaches. This paper wants to investigate new directions in research on the type of testing and skills required on mobile app testing by answering the following three research questions: (RQ1) How mobile applications testing are so different from traditional web applications, that require specialized testing skills and techniques?, (RQ2) What are the new challenges and future trends in mobile application testing, and (RQ3) How far automation effective in testing mobile application?. We answer those questions by analyzing the current trends in mobile application development and testing, and by proposing my view on the topic.

Distributed, configurable memory management in an operating system supporting quality of service (2003)

Ongoing work is presented that takes advantage of several key trends in computing science to provide a novel, flexible, extensible, distributed, user-level virtual memory management hierarchy offering quality of service (QoS) to applications. The increasing disparity between CPU memory and hard disks has made on-line compression more viable than it was only a few years ago. The new hierarchy takes advantage of this to provide a compressed cache within its framework. Similarly, it takes advantage of increased network bandwidth to provide paging to the memory of remote hosts. The new system is further augmented with QoS parameters, allowing applications to specify their own page-fault handling performance requirements and provides feedback mechanisms that allows them to dynamically adjust their behaviour to cope with changes that may affect this. An overview of the design is presented, with the remote paging environment being described in some detail, along with some initial results.
A spread spectrum acoustic ranging system - an overview (2003)

There are spread spectrum systems that are commonly used for ranging. Perhaps the most pervasive system is GPS. Because such a system relies on a high frequency signal, the receiver must have an unobstructed view of the sky. There are situations in which one cannot use GPS, such as in an orchard or indoors. This paper suggests that ranging can be achieved by applying the spread spectrum technique to the medium of sound rather than RF. There are many similarities that a RF channel has with sound, but there are many differences as well. This paper discusses some of the situations in which an acoustic system would be appropriate. It also proposes how such a system could be constructed and even some of the electronic components that would be used along with the parameters of the codes and algorithms that could be used.

Shipboard Sewage Treatment System. (1971)

Small scale studies were conducted to demonstrate process feasibility under unique shipboard conditions and to develop design data for a Navy shipboard waste treatment system. The activated sludge/ultrafiltration process showed remarkable stability under a variety of adverse operating conditions. Effluent characteristics were of a high quality (BOD less than 10 mg/ , SS zero, and coliform generally zero). The laboratory data was employed in the preliminary design of the Phase II system. The minimum volume configuration for a 200-man unit will occupy 380 cubic feet. It will be totally self contained, independent of any land-based installations, and is expected to meet all operational requirements. (Author)
Mixing and the Selectivity of Chemical Reactions (2003)

Many desirable organic reactions are accompanied by side reactions and undesired by-products, which waste raw materials and complicate product work-up and isolation. By enhancing the competition between reactions to obtain more selective syntheses, ecological and economic benefits may be expected. The most effective way to do this is usually catalysis. Recently, however, more has been learned about the role of “reactive mixing”, which refers here to bringing reagents together on the molecular scale. When chemical knowledge (especially reaction kinetics and physical organic chemistry) is combined with that of mixing, significant improvements to the selectivity of some syntheses can be achieved. This review offers an introduction to understanding how mixing influences those single-phase and two-phase reactions which are sufficiently fast that mixing cannot fully homogenize their reactants. It includes theoretical principles, typical experimental results, worked examples, and literature references for further study. Reactive mixing is treated in very few textbooks (refer to section 1), is unknown to many chemists, and is unfamiliar to many chemical engineers. It is hoped that its wider recognition will lead others to become intellectually fascinated by its structure and to value its practical applications.
myPlanet: an ontology driven Web based personalised news service (2001)

In this paper we present myPlanet, an ontology-driven personalised Web-based service. We extended the existing infrastructure of the PlanetOnto news publishing system. Our concerns were mainly to provide lightweight means for ontology maintenance and ease the access to repositories of news items, a rich resource for information sharing. We reason about the information being shared by providing an ontology-driven interest-profiling tool which enable users to specify their interests. We also developed ontology-driven heuristics to find news items related to users' interests. This paper argues for the role of ontology-driven personalised Web-based services in information sharing.
Embedded core test plug-n-play: is it achievable? (2002)

The testing of embedded cores (or Virtual Components (VCs), as the VSI Alliance calls them) in an environment where the system-chip is composed of multiple cores from different authors, requires that the chosen test strategy and methodology allow for the identification of the failing core (VC), as well as determining that the manufactured chip is of sufficient quality to ship to a customer. This imposes several unique requirements, which are discussed. It is suggested that there are defect types which have no equivalent faults models. The only way to observe the presence of these manufactured defects is through system level functional tests, with guardbands on the power supplies and timing. Only in this manner will most of the latent defects that cause interaction problems between cores be observed and caught before delivery to customer.
Neuromyotonia in hereditary motor neuropathy. (1991)

Two siblings with a distal motor neuropathy experienced cramping and difficulty in relaxing their muscles after voluntary contraction. Electromyographic recordings at rest revealed repetitive high voltage spontaneous electrical discharges that were accentuated after voluntary contraction and during ischaemia. Regional neuromuscular blockage with curare indicated hyperexcitability of peripheral nerve fibres and nerve block suggested that the ectopic activity originated in proximal segments of the nerve. Symptoms were improved with diphenylhydantoin, carbamazepine and tocainide.
