An Investigation of Six-Port Phase-Type Circulators and Switches (1969)

A wide variety of ferrite circulator and switches is being used in UHF channels of current wireless systems. Theory of three- and four-port circulators and switches has reached a fairly advanced development stage. Appropriate devices in our country and elsewhere have parameters that are pretty close to the maximum attainable. Nevertheless, the problems concerning the improvement of electric strength and reduction of losses continue to be topical. They are especially urgent when operational peculiarities of the system call for a considerable number of such devices. The currently known junction patterns for several circulators, though lending considerable operational possibilities, are on the other hand not optimal from the point of view of electric strength (each circulator carries full power) and losses (the circulator losses are added). Increase in the number of circulators or switches also leads to reduction of reliability of the set as a whole. Therefore it is but natural to attempt a combination of functions of a number of circulators (switches) in a single device. This paper deals with six-port devices permitting an increase of electric strength as well as reduction of losses.

Infotainment devices control by eye gaze and gesture recognition fusion (2008)

This paper presents a novel concept for controlling the consumer devices such as MP3 player or other daily life appliances by fusion of eye gaze and gesture recognition methodologies. Such system is deployable for virtually controlling the consumer devices anywhere in the home and office. The usability of the system is also tested with patients at the intensive care units of the hospitals where the patients may not able to operate the consumer devices in a regular way. The proposed system consists of a video processing based embedded system, a CCD camera and situated display. Physical control options are displayed over the situated display. Selection / de-selection process of displayed control option over situated display is accomplished by analyzing the video sequence captured by the CCD camera. Eye gaze estimation and head gesture recognition algorithms analyze the video sequence and reveal the control command that has to be sent to the infotainment or other consumer devices.
Foliar nutrient levels of native tree species from Central Amazonia. I. Inundation forests (1983)

The study of the leaf size spectra and foliar concentrations of N, P, K, Ca, Mg and Na of 52 species sampled in three Central-Amazon inundation forests (2 várzea sites, 1 igapó site) yielded signifìcant differences between várzea and igapó forests. The várzea foliage consists of larger and less heavy leaves with elemental concentrations being high even by tropical standards. The igapó foliage consists of relatively small leaves which are heavier, but much lower in the studied elements. The igapó leaves are supposed to be sclerophyllous and evergreen.
A direct demonstration of recombination between an injected virus and endogenous viral sequences, resulting in the generation of mink cell focus-inducing viruses in AKR mice (1993)

We analyzed viral recombination events that occur during the preleukemic period in AKR mice. We tagged a molecular chimera between the nonleukemogenic virus Akv and the leukemogenic mink cell focus-inducing (MCF) virus MCF 247 with an amber suppressor tRNA gene, supF. We injected the supF-tagged chimeric virus that contains all of the genes of MCF 247 except the envelope gene, which in turn is derived from Akv, into newborn AKR mice to evaluate its pathogenic potential. Approximately the same percentage of animals developed leukemia with similar latent periods when injected with either the tagged or nontagged virus. DNA from tumors induced in AKR mice by the tagged chimeric virus was analyzed by Southern blotting with the supF gene as a probe. One set of tumors contained the injected supF-tagged virus. Two kinds of supF-tagged proviruses were found in a second set of tumors. One group of supF-tagged viruses had a restriction map consistent with that of the injected virus, while the other group of proviruses had restriction maps that suggested that the proviruses had acquired an MCF virus-like envelope gene by recombination with endogenous viral sequences. These results demonstrate that injected viruses recombine in vivo with endogenous viral sequences. Furthermore, the progression to leukemia was accelerated in mice that develop tumors containing proviruses with an MCF virus env gene, emphasizing the importance of the role of the MCF virus env gene product in transformation.
Androgen receptors and partial androgen insensitivity in male pseudohermaphroditism. (1986)

Male pseudohermaphroditism can occur either as a result of inadequate fetal androgen secretion or ineffective androgen action. Partial androgen insensitivity syndrome is related to a decrease in the binding capacity of target cells androgen receptors. However, the biochemical expression of these syndromes is variable: although a low concentration of androgen receptors is observed in 75% of the cases, a normal binding capacity is sometimes reported. If the presence of androgen receptors is necessary for hormonal action, it is not sufficient since the receptor has to conserve its functional integrity. Several qualitative abnormalities of the androgen receptor have been described and could thus explain the disturbance in the androgen mechanism of action. The study of androgen-dependent proteins and other androgen-receptor "markers" should offer the clinician a better management of partial androgen insensitivity and allow, in amniotic or trophoblastic cells, a prenatal diagnosis of androgen resistance in high-risk families.
Model and design of PCB parallel winding for planar transformer (2003)

In today's high-frequency low-profile switching-mode power converters, paralleling winding in planar transformers is needed, especially for low voltage and high current applications. Although this practice is believed to be effective to increase the current handling capacity of the windings, the effect might be offset due to the unequal current sharing within parallel layers if the winding layers are not properly arranged and connected. In this work, the particular problems raised from parallel winding are addressed and modeled based on a one-dimensional field model. The factors affecting winding losses with parallel connection are analyzed. Software to predict the current density distribution and AC loss for planar windings has been developed.
A Dynamical Training and Design Simulator for Active Catheters (2004)

This work addresses the design of an active multi-link micro-catheter actuated by Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) micro actuators. This may be a response to one medical major demand on such devices, which will be useful for surgical explorations and interventions. In this paper, we focus on a training and design simulator dedicated to such catheters. This simulator is based on an original simulation platform (OpenMASK). The catheter is a robotic system, which is evaluated by a dynamical simulation addressing a navigation task in its environment. The design of the prototype and its mechanical model are presented. We develop an interaction model for contact. This model uses a real medical database for which distance cartography is proposed. Then we focus on an autonomous control model based on a multi-agent approach and including the behaviour description of the SMA actuators. Results of mechanical simulations including interaction with the ducts are presented. Furthermore, the interest of such a simulator is presented by applying virtual prototyping techniques for the design optimization. This optimization process is achieved by using genetic algorithms at different stages with respect to the specified task.
Arabic Natural Language Processing (2009)

The Arabic language presents researchers and developers of natural language processing (NLP) applications for Arabic text and speech with serious challenges. The purpose of this article is to describe some of these challenges and to present some solutions that would guide current and future practitioners in the field of Arabic natural language processing (ANLP). We begin with general features of the Arabic language in Sections 1, 2, and 3 and then we move to more specific properties of the language in the rest of the article. In Section 1 of this article we highlight the significance of the Arabic language today and describe its general properties. Section 2 presents the feature of Arabic Diglossia showing how the sociolinguistic aspects of the Arabic language differ from other languages. The stability of Arabic Diglossia and its implications for ANLP applications are discussed and ways to deal with this problematic property are proposed. Section 3 deals with the properties of the Arabic script and the explosion of ambiguity that results from the absence of short vowel representations and overt case markers in contemporary Arabic texts. We present in Section 4 specific features of the Arabic language such as the nonconcatenative property of Arabic morphology, Arabic as an agglutinative language, Arabic as a pro-drop language, and the challenge these properties pose to ANLP. We also present solutions that have already been adopted by some pioneering researchers in the field. In Section 5 we point out to the lack of formal and explicit grammars of Modern Standard Arabic which impedes the progress of more advanced ANLP systems. In Section 6 we draw our conclusion.

The Design of a Generic Signing Avatar Animation System (2006)

We designed a generic avatar animator for use in sign language related projects.The animator is capable of animating any given avatar that is compliant with the H-Anim standard for humanoid animation.The system was designed with the South African Sign Language Machine Translation (SASL-MT) project in mind, but can easily be adapted to other sign language projects due to its generic design.An avatar that is capable of accurately performing sign language gestures is a special kind of avatar and is referred to as a signing avatar.In this thesis we investigate the special characteristics of signing avatars and address the issue of finding a generic design for the animation of such an avatar.
Type I Interferon Production during Herpes Simplex Virus Infection Is Controlled by Cell-Type-Specific Viral Recognition through Toll-Like Receptor 9, the Mitochondrial Antiviral Signaling Protein Pathway, and Novel Recognition Systems (2007)

Recognition of viruses by germ line-encoded pattern recognition receptors of the innate immune system is essential for rapid production of type I interferon (IFN) and early antiviral defense. We investigated the mechanisms of viral recognition governing production of type I IFN during herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection. We show that early production of IFN in vivo is mediated through Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) and plasmacytoid dendritic cells, whereas the subsequent alpha/beta IFN (IFN-alpha/beta) response is derived from several cell types and induced independently of TLR9. In conventional DCs, the IFN response occurred independently of viral replication but was dependent on viral entry. Moreover, using a HSV-1 UL15 mutant, which fails to package viral DNA into the virion, we found that entry-dependent IFN induction also required the presence of viral genomic DNA. In macrophages and fibroblasts, where the virus was able to replicate, HSV-induced IFN-alpha/beta production was dependent on both viral entry and replication, and ablated in cells unable to signal through the mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein pathway. Thus, during an HSV infection in vivo, multiple mechanisms of pathogen recognition are active, which operate in cell-type- and time-dependent manners to trigger expression of type I IFN and coordinate the antiviral response.

Comparing dam movements obtained with Terrestrial Laser Scanner (TLS) data against direct pendulums records (2015)

The results of the study carried out in a gravity-arch dam to measure its seasonal movements with TLS are presented. These values are compared with radial movements of the dam crest recorded by direct pendulums. The results show differences, only few millimeters, being the best result one millimeter discrepancy. The factors that have been considered are the precision and accuracy of the equipment, distance and angle of incidence of the laser beam, the density of the point cloud and the size of the triangles of the meshes. Considerations about density of point clouds and size of triangular meshes are made. In this study, a 7 cm distance between points and a 20 cm mesh size have given good results. Finally, a methodology is proposed to compare by reference to one of the meshes.
A 10Gb/s compact low-power serial I/O with DFE-IIR equalization in 65nm CMOS (2009)

The design of compact low-power I/O transceivers continues to be a challenge for both chip-to-chip and backplane applications. The introduction of dense fine-pitch silicon packaging technologies, that in principle are capable of supporting tens of thousands of high-data-rate I/O for local chip-to-chip interconnect, will make I/O area and power requirements even more stringent.This paper describes an alternative low-power compact I/O transceiver with RX equalization that achieves the required multi-bit postcursor cancellation without a high tap-count DFE. While this work targets data transmission over Si carrier links at rates up to 10Gb/s, it is also relevant to backplane channels.
PATTERN CONSTRUCTION RULES FOR DOWN'S SYNDROME FEMALES (1991)

Down's syndrome females generally have non‐standard body features. A database of dimensions is established for 200 Down's syndrome females in Hong Kong aged 15 years and over; the effect of mental retardation upon their ability to dress/undress and deal successfully with a range of fastenings is investigated; studies of posture and ergonomic factors were undertaken. From the information collected it has been possible to establish mannequins and size tables. Important outer garment types have been identified and pattern construction rules developed for five major garment categories: skirt; culottes; slacks; blouses and casual jackets. Recommendations for future development work are made.
Occurrence of Conjugated Cis-9, Trans-11-Octadecadienoic Acid in Bovine Milk: Effects of Feed and Dietary Regimen (1996)

Twenty-eight lactating cows were used to study the effects of different diets and different dietary regimens on the variation of cis-9,trans-11-octadecadienoic acid in milk. Cows were divided into three groups and assigned to dietary treatments differing in the ratio of forage to concentrate. The control group was fed a diet with an average ratio of forage to concentrate of 50:50. The two trial groups were fed a trial diet either in restricted or nonrestricted amounts. Variation of cis-9,trans-11-octadecadienoic acid in milk was substantial (2.5 to 17.7 mg/g of fat). Cows fed restricted amounts of the trial diet, which contained a lower forage to concentrate ratio than did the control diet, exhibited, on average, the highest concentration (11.28 mg/g of fat). For cows fed for ad libitum consumption, the trial diet did not differ significantly from the control diet (6.6 vs. 5.0 mg/g of fat). The concentration of cis-9,trans-11-octadecadienoic acid and trans-11-C18:1 was positively correlated. Therefore, conjugated linoleic acid in bovine milk, if considered to be beneficial, could be increased through a suitable dietary regimen.
Increased Synthesis of Leukotrienes in the Mouse Model of Diabetic Retinopathy (2010)

Transcellular delivery of LTA(4) from marrow-derived cells to retinal cells results in the generation of LTB(4) and the death of endothelial cells and, thus, might contribute to chronic inflammation and retinopathy in diabetes.
Inhibition of H2 Histamine Receptor-Mediated Cation Channel Opening by Protein Kinase C in Human Promyelocytic Cells (2001)

Histamine, through H(2) receptors, triggers a prominent rise in intracellular free Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) in addition to an elevation of cAMP level in HL-60 promyelocytes. Here we show that the histamine-induced [Ca(2+)](i) rise was due to influx of Ca(2+) from the extracellular space, probably through nonselective cation channels, as incubation of the cells with SKF 96365 abolished the histamine-induced [Ca(2+)](i) rise, Na(+) influx, and membrane depolarization. The Ca(2+) influx was specifically inhibited by pretreatment of the cells with PMA or extracellular ATP with 50% inhibitory concentrations of 0.12 +/- 0.03 nM and 185 +/- 17 microM, respectively. Western blot analysis of protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms revealed that PMA (< or =1 nM) and ATP (300 microM) caused selective translocation of PKC-delta to the particulate/membrane fraction. Costimulation of the cells with histamine and SKF 96365 partially reduced histamine-induced granulocytic differentiation, which was evaluated by looking at the extent of fMet-Leu-Phe-induced [Ca(2+)](i) rise and superoxide generation. In conclusion, nonselective cation channels are opened by stimulation of the H(2) receptor, and the channels are at least in part involved in the induction of histamine-mediated differentiation processes. Both effects of histamine were selectively inhibited probably by the delta isoform of PKC in HL-60 cells.
Original Papers · Travaux originaux: Factors Affecting the Prevalence of Tinnitus (1984)

The prevalence of tinnitus was studied in a large population of noise-exposed workers. It was found that 6.6% had tinnitus which was more than momentary. Results of two other studies were compared. Factors possibly relating to the prevalence of tinnitus were studied. The single most important factor found to be related to tinnitus is hearing level. The higher the hearing level, the faster the rate of increase in the prevalence of tinnitus. Other factors such as sex, age, laterality, smoking and shooting do not seem to have a significant, direct relationship with tinnitus, but they are related to the prevalence of tinnitus indirectly through the influence they have on hearing loss.
Isolation and characterization of nisin‐producing <i>Lactococcus lactis</i> subsp. <i>lactis</i> from bean‐sprouts (1997)

Bacterial isolates from bean-sprouts were screened for anti-Listeria monocytogenes bacteriocins using a well diffusion method. Thirty-four of 72 isolates inhibited the growth of L. monocytogenes Scott A. One, HPB 1688, which had the biggest inhibition zone against L. monocytogenes Scott A, was selected for subsequent analysis. Both ribotyping and DNA sequencing of 16S ribosomal RNA gene demonstrated that the isolate was Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis. Polymerase chain reaction and nucleotide sequencing revealed that the genomic DNA of the bean-sprout isolates contained a nisin Z structural gene. In MRS broth, bean-sprout isolate HPB 1688 survived at 3-4.5 degrees C for at least 20 d, grew at 4 degrees C and produced anti-listerial compounds at 5 degrees C. When co-cultured with L. monocytogenes in MRS broth, the isolate inhibited the growth of L. monocytogenes at 4 degrees C after 14 d and at 10 degrees C after 2 d. When co-inoculated with 10(2) cells g-1 of L. monocytogenes on fresh-cut ready-to-eat Caesar salad, L. lactis subsp. lactis (10(8) cells g-1) was able to reduce the number of L. monocytogenes by 1-1.4 logs after storage for 10 d at 7 zero and 10 degrees C. A bacteriocin-producing Enterococcus faecium was also able to reduce the numbers of L. monocytogenes on Caesar salad, but did not act synergistically when co-inoculated with L. lactis subsp. lactis.
Stockings for protection of containerized conifer seedlings against pine weevil (<i>Hylobius abietis</i> L.) damage (1989)

Abstract The effectiveness of a stocking, constructed of nylon and cotton netting, in protecting containerized conifer seedlings against pine weevil attack was evaluated in field tests on 37 clear‐cut reforestation areas in southern and central Sweden. The stockings significantly reduced pine weevil feeding on treated seedlings as well as seedling mortality. The protective effect of the stockings was similar to that of an insecticide (permethrin) treatment. In most experiments the survival of stocking‐enclosed seedlings was satisfactory from a practical point of view, whereas untreated control seedlings suffered heavy mortality.
