Subsurface Utility Engineering (2010)

Problems can occur on highway projects when contractors fail to locate subsurface utilities reliably prior to excavation, drilling, or boring. For almost 20 years, the Federal Highway Administration has promoted an engineering practice called subsurface utility engineering (SUE) to avoid such problems. State departments of transportation (DOTs) today use SUE routinely on major highway construction projects. This article highlights the history and growth of SUE. It also describes the SUE process and the major benefits of using SUE. SUE combines elements of civil engineering, geophysics, and surveying. It essentially involves systematically identifying the quality of utility information needed to design a project, then acquiring and managing that level of information using surface geophysical methods, mapping technologies, and vacuum excavation. As an engineering practice, SUE enables State and local DOTs, design consultants, and utility companies to locate existing subsurface utilities with a high degree of accuracy and comprehensiveness. When used properly, SUE can minimize project-utility conflicts and reduces project delays. In 2003, the American Society of Civil Engineers defined SUE as an acceptable engineering practice and provided guidance through standardization for applying it on projects. SUE was first used in 1982 for a project in Virginia. Since then, many state and local DOTS throughout the United States have adopted the practice. It also has spread to other countries. The application of SUE by transportation agencies and qualified providers who understand the practice makes it possible to avoid utility-related problems that have plagued highway engineers for decades and thereby accelerate project delivery. A 2000 study found that for every $1.00 spent on SUE, $4.62 in costs from utility relocation and delays was avoided.

On the acceleration of flow-oriented circuit clustering (1995)

Flow-based method has been successful in producing high-quality circuit clusterings at the expense of long running time. In this paper, we explore the tradeoff between clustering quality and running time. We show that optimum flow distribution, which is a key concept of flow-based clustering, may not be indispensable if some compromise of the clustering result is allowed. By releasing the demand for optimum flow distribution, significant speedup can be achieved. Our result provides an alternative to applications where fast yet reasonably good clustering is required. >
Excimer Laser Trabeculotomy (2008)

ous fluid by producing 0.5-mm holes. There is no reference given to this observation, therefore it is not clear how this observation was determined. The article states that the laser fiber is 200  m. It is unclear how this would create 500m ostia. On page 286, an aiming beam is mentioned in the Surgical Technique section. However, unless the AIDA laser system has been modified, and this is not mentioned, no aiming beam is utilized. Finally, the authors do not propose a hypothesis to explain the progressive decrease in intraocular pressure over time as opposed to other ELT studies in which the decrease in intraocular pressure occurs in the immediate postoperative period and is sustained [4, 5] . Do the authors offer any hypothesis as to why their patients have a slower rate of decline than others? This detail may be an important characteristic of their ELT technique that should be noted. I commend the authors for the insight afforded by their article and look forward to the reporting of future results with the ELT procedure. As a respectful reader of this journal, I appreciate the article of Babighian et al. [1] , entitled ‘Efficacy and safety of ab interno excimer laser trabeculotomy in primary open-angle glaucoma: two years of followup’, and how it aptly addresses the effectiveness and safety of excimer laser trabeculotomy (ELT) to treat open-angle glaucoma. Nevertheless, there are several issues I would like to see addressed. In this article and in some of the prior European literature, ELT is noted as excimer laser trabeculotomy rather than trabeculostomy. However, the described procedure creates laser-induced ostia. Therefore the suffix ‘-ostomy’ appears better suited, whereas ‘-otomy’ would refer to ‘making an incision’ which does not occur in ELT. The inventor of excimer laser trabeculostomy, Dr. Michael Berlin, is not referenced in this paper. It would be appropriate to give him proper credit for this procedure [2, 3] . On page 285, the researchers note that ELT aims to improve the outflow of aqueReceived : November 3, 2006 Accepted : November 6, 2006 Published online: October 10, 2008
Autonomous seed-planting vehicle (2017)

This project aimed to construct and operate a vehicle capable of movement on land while planting seeds at equal spacing. The project used an optical flow sensor, Optical Flow V1.0, for tracking distance movement, and an electronic compass, LSM9DS0 for tracking the vehicle heading. The vehicle made use of a differential drive system to move and navigate itself through a field. A seed-planting mechanism was mounted on the vehicle which enabled it to plant seeds. This mechanism included a garden seeder with a motor coupled to it. The system was controlled by a dsPIC30f4013 microcontroller board, and PID Control was implemented for the motor control of the vehicle. Results show that the vehicle was able to move in its desired path, but the path tracked by the system may differ from the actual physical path due to inaccuracies of the sensors.
Evidence of single point mutation inducing BLAD disease in Romanian Holstein-derived cattle breed (2007)

Bovine leukocyte adhesion deficiency (BLAD) is a genetic disease that affects the haematopoietic system via greatly reduced expression of the heterodimeric ?2 integrin, causing many defects in leukocyte function. It is known that BLAD is an autosomal recessive defect, caused by a point mutation in the gene encoding subunit CD18 for ?2 integrin adhesion molecule, which is lethal in the homozygous form. In this study, 80 cattle of the Romanian Black Spotted breed have been screened via the DNA test. We performed the PCR-RFLP test followed by sequencing to investigate the incidence of this genetic disease. A single point mutation was identified within the gene encoding bovine CD18 in two Romanian Black Spotted cattle affected with BLAD. The aim of our work was to optimize PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction), RFLP (Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism) and sequencing analysis as a diagnostic test to identify BLAD carrier cattle.

The pre-history of Romantic time (2006)

In 1746, William Collins and Joseph Warton each wrote odes to evening, which they intended to publish in the same volume. Of the two lyrics, only Collins' is remembered and anthologized today, but the joint nature of these poets' efforts – parallel hymns to a single time of day – is nevertheless a notable fact of literary history. By late century, many other poets had joined the chorus: William Cowper devoted the fourth book of The Task (1785) to describing a winter evening; Charlotte Smith, William Lisle Bowles, and other poets of Sensibility wrote numerous twilight sonnets in the 1780s and 90s; a Cambridge undergraduate named William Wordsworth composed a long topographical excursion entitled An Evening Walk (eventually published in 1793); and in 1796, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, who had been a few years behind Wordsworth at university and admired An Evening Walk, published a volume of poetry inspired by the pensive nocturnal settings of his predecessors.
Signal processing methods for non-invasive respiration monitoring (2002)

﻿ This thesis investigates the feasibility of using a set of non-invasive biomedical signals to monitor respiration. The signals of interest being the electrocardiogram (EGG), photoplethysmography (PPG) and impedance plethysmography (IP) signals. The work has two main aims; the first being to estimate breathing rates from the signals, the second being to detect apnoeas from the signals. The fusion of information from different signals is used throughout in developing algorithms that give more accurate respiratory information than that obtained using one signal alone. Respiratory waveforms are derived from the signals, and the accuracy of detecting individual breaths from the waveforms is assessed and compared objectively. Results from evaluations on two separate databases show there is no waveform that gives sufficient accuracy to consider using it alone. A novel fusion method is developed which uses measurements from all three signals. This fusion method is based on weighting the estimates from each signal, according to the innovation from a Kalman filter model, applied to each respiratory waveform separately. The fused estimates give a higher overall correlation with respect to the reference breathing rate values than any of the breathing estimates derived from a single waveform. The detection of both central and obstructive sleep apnoea from the signals is investigated. It is shown that the accuracy of detecting central apnoeas from the IP signal using a timedomain method, often used in practice, can be improved by combining it with information from the frequency-domain. When discriminating between obstructive sleep apnoeic and non-apnoeic data it is seen that combining features from two signals results in a superior classification accuracy than is possible by using features from just one signal. The proposed classification system using just one of these signals, the EGG, is shown to give a performance accuracy comparable to that found in the literature. In conclusion this thesis shows that by fusing information from a number of non-invasive biomedical signals, estimations of breathing rates can be found with correlation 0.8. This is superior to estimation using only the impedance pneumography signal (correlation 0.64) which is currently used to monitor respiration. The fusion approach could potentially be applied to improve other non-invasive physiological monitoring systems.
Weight Loss in Patients Taking Felbamate (1995)

Felbamate is a new antiepileptic drug (AED) with a good safety profile. Anorexia has been reported in patients taking felbamate, but the incidence and severity of this side effect have not been adequately investigated. We studied 65 patients with intractable seizures who received adjunctive felbamate therapy as part of clinical research trials or in a compassionate-use program. Mean treatment time on felbamate was 23 weeks (+/- SD 16; range, 6-116 weeks). Forty-nine patients (75%) lost weight during the trials. For subjects older than 15 years, there was a mean weight loss of 3.17 kg or 4.11% of body weight (T = 191.5, z = 4.18, p < 0.001). For subjects 15 years or younger there was a mean weight loss 0.20 kg or a loss of 1.77% of body weight (T = 52.5, NS). Twenty-two patients (34%) lost > 4 kg, and seven patients (11%) lost > 8 kg. Adjunctive treatment of adults with severe epilepsy with felbamate may be associated with clinically significant weight loss.

Association between tumor-stroma ratio and prognosis in solid tumor patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis (2016)

Tumor-related stroma plays an active role in tumor invasion and metastasis. The tumor-stroma ratio (TSR) in the pathologic specimen has drawn increasing attention from the field of predicting tumor prognosis. However, the prognostic value of TSR in solid tumors necessitates further elucidation. We conducted a meta-analysis on 14 studies with 4238 patients through a comprehensive electronic search on databases updated on May 2016 to explore the relationship between TSR and prognosis of solid tumors. The overall hazard ratio showed that rich stroma in tumor tissue was associated with poor overall survival (OS) (14 studies, 4238 patients) and disease-free survival (DFS) (9 studies, 2235 patients) of patients with solid tumors. The effect of low TSR on poor OS was observed among various cancer types, but not in the early stage of cervical caner. A significant relationship between low TSR and poor OS was also observed in the subgroup analyses based on study region, blinding status, and Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) score. Subgroup analyses indicated that cancer type, clinical stage, study region, blinding status, and NOS score did not affect the prognostic value of TSR for DFS. Moreover, low TSR was significantly correlated with the serious clinical stage, advanced depth of invasion, and positive lymph node metastasis. These findings indicate that a high proportion of stroma in cancer tissue is associated with poor clinical outcomes in cancer patients, and TSR may serve as an independent prognostic factor for solid tumors.

The depletion of insecticides in sheep dipping baths (1959)

Abstract The depletion of aldrin, dieldrin and γ‐BHC from sheep dipping baths under field conditions has been examined. The methods of sampling and infra‐red analysis of the insecticide are fully described. The factors affecting the depletion rate of sheep dips are discussed and the results show that where the initial concentration is high, rapid depletion occurs. A more constant insecticide level may be achieved by lowering the initial concentration and increasing the amount of chemical added at topping up. Further work is in progress.
Wnt Signaling from Development to Disease: Insights from Model Systems (2009)

One of the early surprises in the study of cell adhesion was the discovery that beta-catenin plays dual roles, serving as an essential component of cadherin-based cell-cell adherens junctions and also serving as the key regulated effector of the Wnt signaling pathway. Here, we review our current model of Wnt signaling and discuss how recent work using model organisms has advanced our understanding of the roles Wnt signaling plays in both normal development and in disease. These data help flesh out the mechanisms of signaling from the membrane to the nucleus, revealing new protein players and providing novel information about known components of the pathway.
Motion Coordination of Multiple Autonomous Vehicles in Dynamic and Strictly Constrained Environments (2006)

With the increasing applications of fully autonomous vehicles, efficient motion coordination of multi-autonomous vehicles becomes a very important problem as it significantly affects the productivity. This problem is even harder to solve with the increases of the number of autonomous vehicles employed in a dynamic changing environment and constraints to vehicle movement. This paper presents a simultaneous path and motion planning (SiPaMoP) approach to coordinate motions of multi-autonomous vehicles in dynamic and strictly constrained environments. This approach integrates the path planning, collision avoidance and motion planning into a comprehensive model, which has so far not attracted a lot of attention in the academic literature, and optimizes vehicles' path and speed to minimize the completion time of a set of tasks. Simulation results demonstrated that this approach can effectively coordinate the motion of a team of vehicles, and solve the problems of traffic congestion and collision under various traffic conditions
Activity cross‐calibration of unsealed radionuclides utilizing a portable ion chamber (2016)

Context-aware application programming for mobile devices (2008)

This research aims at facilitating the development of context-aware application software for mobile devices by providing a programming model, an implementation framework and a development environment. The programming model provides a multi-layered software architecture for context-aware application programming. The model supports developers to define contexts, behaviors and context-behavior binding rules through specifications and automates generation of context-aware application code based on the specifications. The implementation framework is a backbone program that implements the programming model. It facilitates the development in reducing the effort on the common tasks of context-awareness and help developers focus on the application-specific components. The development environment provides a series of tools to support the development of context-aware applications. These tools simplify the development process and provide the developed applications with robustness and testability.
Regenerative Shock Absorber Using a Two-Leg Motion Conversion Mechanism (2015)

This paper presents the development of a novel regenerative shock absorber sized for a passenger car suspension system. The shock absorber includes a simple and highly efficient motion converter called a two-leg mechanism , a planetary gearhead, and a brushless three-phase rotary machine. The design and analysis of the regenerative shock absorber are presented by considering the dynamics and efficiency of the electromechanical device. The performance of the regenerative damper is evaluated under sinusoidal excitation inputs for typical amplitudes and frequencies in a vehicular suspension system. Experimental results show that a damping coefficient of $1720$ N$\cdot$s/m can be achieved by controlling the external loads. Furthermore, a mechanical energy conversion efficiency between 0.71 and 0.84 is achieved, which is considerably higher than other mechanisms reported in the literature, such as ball screw, rack-and-pinion, and linear mechanisms.
Staph Mastitis: Herd Control Program (1997)

Mastitis caused by Staphylococcus aureus is a major problem for some dairy herds. It causes high Somatic Cell Counts (SCC), reduces milk quality, and may cause a loss of milk market. It limits milk production for the herd, reduces efficiency, and continues to spread to other cows.
