Detection and prediction of lane-changes: A study to infer driver intent using support vector machine (2012)

Examensarbetet som behandlas i rapporten har utförts i samarbete med Scania CV AB i Södertälje och institutionen för maskinkonstruktion på KTH i Stockholm. Scania CV AB är en ledande tillverkare av tunga lastbilar, bussar samt industri- och marinmotorer. Med allt tuffare krav på trafiksäkerhet för fordon under utveckling har en ny generationen av säkerhetssystem växt fram, Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). De här nya systemen försöker inte bara att minska effekterna av en olycka utan även förhindra dess uppkomst. Det ställer stora krav på att systemen enbart ingriper när det behövs och inte motarbetar föraren under normal körning. Därför är det av intresse att undersöka hur en förares handlingar och intentioner avspeglas i sensorvärden för att i slutändan kunna förbättra säkerhetssystemens beslutsförmåga i olika situationer. I projektet har en studie gjorts för att se om det finns tydliga mönster i sensorvärden utöver blinkers, inför och under ett filbyte på motorväg med en lastbil. Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur den här typen av problem kan lösas, estimera vilka noggrannheter som kan uppnås samt ta reda på vilken uppsättning sensorer som behövs för att lösa problemet. Utifrån den konceptevaluering som gjordes valdes metoden support vector machine (SVM) för detta mönsterigenkänningsproblem. För att träna upp och testa algoritmen användes riktig fordonsdata insamlad under motorvägskörning. Algoritmen kunde utifrån datat med 82% noggrannhet korrekt detektera om föraren utförde en filhållnings- eller filbytesmanöver. Algoritmen kunde också snabbt detektera en filbytesmanöver innan det första hjulet korsade filmarkeringen. Med tillgängliga sensorer i testfordonet kunde inga mönster hittas i förarrelaterade sensorvärden inför ett filbyte som skulle avspegla dennes intentioner. Därför föreslogs en ny metod för att istället avgöra vad föraren borde vilja göra givet en situation genom att titta på omvärldsdata. Med hjälp av denna information kunde antalet felklassificeringar mellan filbytes- och filhållningsmanövrar minskas med 8 procentenheter.

Stability of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and the Epworth Sleepiness Questionnaires Over 1 Year in Early Middle-Aged Adults: The CARDIA Study (2006)

These results suggest that the PSQI and ESS are stable measures of sleep quality and sleepiness over the past year in early middle-aged adults.
Local treatment of chronic cutaneous leg ulcers with recombinant human granulocyte‐macrophage colony‐stimulating factor (2002)

Pathogenesis, size and duration of the ulcers seemed to be the most important parameters regarding wound repairing capability of rHuGM-CSF. None of the ulcers increased in size and none of the patients developed clinical side-effects or peripheral blood cell count abnormalities during the treatment. All the results described were stable after 6 months of follow up. The absence of peripheral leucocyte count variation and the size-dependent therapeutic effect indicate that the drug exercises local rather than systemic actions.
A Screening Trial of 28 Species Conducted on Non-Saline and Saline Soils in Dry Tropical Northeast Australia (1997)

Abstract A trial to examine the suitabilities of 28 tree species for both non-saline and saline soils was carried out in a dry tropical area of northern Australia. The trial consisted of two experiments, Experiment 1 on a non-saline site and Experiment 2 on a saline site. In each experiment, trees of all the species were grown in a randomised complete block design with 6 blocks (replicates) and were measured for survival; height and diameter at breast height (DBH) at age 24 months. These parameters were found to differ significantly between species in both experiments. Of all species tested, Azadi-rachta indica, Eucalyptus camaldulensis, E. citriodora, E. maculata, E. pellita, E. raveretiana, Khaya senegalensisand Paulowniafortue-niihad high survival and fast growth in height and DBH on the non-saline site while E. camaldulensis, E. drepanophylla, E. moluc-cartaand E. raveretianaperformed better on the saline site. Salinity greatly affected survival for some species and reduced tree growth in both height and DBH for most species tested. E. camaldulensisis suggested to be one of themost important species for land rehabilitationin theregion.
Active databases for active repositories (2002)

The various activities necessary for constructing a software product are described by software process models. Many of the actions mentioned there are supported by tools that use a repository in order to create, manipulate, generate, etc. the deliverables. The process is tailored for each project to necessary work and planned with respect to existing resources. This results in a schedule for each project that is manually compared with ongoing work. We introduce the idea of active repositories that partially automate scheduling and controlling of the activities described within a process model. The notion of active repositories is based on active database technology that allows for detecting events and triggering the corresponding actions. Events are state changes in the repository or raised by external components, e.g. a clock or CASE tool. Actions manipulate the repository, trigger CASE tools, signal external systems or notify the user.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>

Printers are dangerous (2002)

In the last years, many new intelligent full-featured peripherals that assist information systems have appeared. Those peripherals, such as printers, copiers, PDA organizers, Web cameras, etc. usually have a very friendly way of configuration and management (via http, ftp or telnet servers) and offer more networked services everyday. Their computation, memory and networking capabilities have also increased in the last years. Nowadays, many of them are comparable to workstations and run complete operating systems such as Linux or Solaris. All those factors imply that these devices could represent a real threat to the security of information systems. This problem is even worse because most of those peripherals have been considered inoffensive and not many administrators are aware of their security risks. The most representative example is printers, which have been traditionally considered totally harmless devices. At the present time, that idea is difficult to defend because many security incidents related with networked printers have arisen in the last years. System and security administrators have traditionally focused their efforts in fortifying servers and hosts only, but it seems that this view is not enough for assuring security nowadays.
The Effect of the Anion Polarization on the Cationic Mobilities in Nitrate Binary Mixtures (1969)

The electrical perturbation induced by the simultaneous presence of two different cations near the anion (which is the frame of reference) is indicated as main factor influencing the internal mobilities in dilute solutions of monovalent nitrates in NaNO 3 . By extending the mobility isotherm derived on the basis of the previous assumptions to a larger concentration range, an equivalent conductivity isotherm is proposed.
Undifferentiated epithelial-rich invasive malignant thymoma: complete response to cisplatin, vinblastine, and bleomycin therapy. (1988)

Two cases of complete remission plus one almost complete and another partial response of undifferentiated, invasive epithelial malignant thymoma using the combination of cisplatin, vinblastine, and bleomycin (PVB), are reported in four patients treated with this combination. Radiotherapy was instituted after completing the fourth course of chemotherapy in three patients. One patient died from intercurrent infection after the fourth cycle of combination chemotherapy. Three patients remain free of disease at the end of the treatment program. PVB appears to be highly active in this disease and deserves more extensive evaluation in multicenter clinical trials.
A benzophenanthridine alkaloid, chelerythrine induces apoptosis in vitro in a Dalton′s lymphoma (2013)

Chelerythrine is capable of inducing apoptosis DL cells in vitro and therefore, it could be useful in combating tumor growth and progression.
Exploring the Gender Divide on YouTube: An Analysis of the Creation and Reception of Vlogs (2008)

This study analyzes short vlogs posted to YouTube in order to investigate how women and men communicate using vlogs and react as viewers to vlogs. Vlogs are visual texts that are user-generated. Analyzing online videos presents a new challenge for researchers: traditionally, analysis of visual media and communication focused on either the production or the reception of the material. Our vlog study uses a dual analytical approach to analyze both production and reception, while conducting content, visual and audience analysis, thus making a contribution to the field of new visual media and communication.
Robot Coverage Path planning for general surfaces using quadratic differentials (2017)

Robot Coverage Path planning (i.e., the process of providing full coverage of a given domain by one or multiple robots) is a classical problem in the field of robotics and motion planning. The goal of such planning is to provide nearly full coverage while also minimize duplicately visited area. In this paper, we focus on the scenario of path planning on general surface, including planar domains with complex topology, complex terrain, and general surface in 3D space. Our approach described in this paper adopts a natural, intrinsic and global parametrization of the surface for robot path planning, namely the holomorphic quadratic differentials. We give each point on the surface a uv-coordinates naturally represented by a complex number, except for a small number of zero points (singularities). We show that natural, efficient robot paths can be obtained by using such coordinate systems. The method is based on intrinsic geometry and thus can be adapted to general surface exploration in 3D.
Applications of the Gauge-invariant uniqueness theorem for graph algebras (2002)

We give applications of the gauge-invariant uniqueness theorem, which states that the Cuntz-Krieger algebras of directed graphs are characterised by the existence of a canonical action of . We classify the C *-algebras of higher order graphs, identify the C *-algebras of cartesian product graphs with a certain fixed point algebra and investigate a relation called elementary shift equivalence on graphs and its effect on the associated graph C *-algebras.
Immunization of mice against Fusobacterium necrophorum infection by perenteral or oral administration of vaccine. (1978)

Immunization of mice against Fusobacterium necrophorum infection was attempted by using 3 vaccination procedures: (1) intraperitoneal (IP) injection of F necrophorum cells in saline solution, (2) IP injection of cells with added aluminum hydroxide adjuvant, and (3) feeding of a powdered mouse diet containing lyophilized cells. One or 2 weekly IP injections of the bacteria cells (in saline solution) for 3, 6, or 12 weeks resulted in protection of 48.7% to 64.5% of the mice against challenge exposure. Of the 2 control groups (given saline solution only), 100% and 97.4% became infected. Weekly IP injections of bacterial cells in an aluminum hydroxide adjuvant for 3, 6, or 12 weeks resulted in protectivity of 54.1% to 77.5%. Of the control mice (given adjuvant only), 97.5% became infected. Bacterial cells fed to mice at a dose level of 1.5 mg (dry weight)/g of powdered diet for 30 days (4 or 5g of diet each day) resulted in only a delay in the mean time of death as compared with the rapid death of the control mice. The feeding dose of 0.15 mg of cells/g of diet did not delay the mean time of death.
Effect of Changing Solvents on Poly(-Caprolactone) Nanofibrous Webs Morphology (2011)

Polycaprolactone nanofibers were prepared using five different solvents (glacial acetic acid, 90% acetic acid, methylene chloride/DMF 4/1, glacial formic acid, and formic acid/acetone 4/1) by electrospinning process. The effect of solution concentrations (5%, 10%, 15% and 20%) and applied voltages during spinning (10 KV to 20 KV) on the nanofibers formation, morphology, and structure were investigated. SEM micrographs showed successful production of PCL nanofibers with different solvents. With increasing the polymer concentration, the average diameter of nanofibers increases. In glacial acetic acid solvent, above 15% concentration bimodal web without beads was obtained. In MC/DMF beads was observed only at 5% solution concentration. However, in glacial formic acid a uniform web without beads were obtained above 10% and the nanofibers were brittle. In formic acid/acetone solution the PCL web formed showed lots of beads along with fine fibers. Increasing applied voltage resulted in fibers with larger diameter.
Extraction of Ocean Surface Current Velocity Using Envisat ASAR Raw Data (2013)

인공위성 Synthetic Aperture Radar(SAR)는 물리해양학적 현상을 정량적으로 관측하는데 가장 유용한 도구 중의 하나이다. SAR의 도플러 편이(Doppler shift) 현상은 센서와 해양표면 유체와의 상대적인 움직임 차이로 인해 발생될 수 있다. 따라서, 단 채널 SAR 원시자료에 기록된 도플러 정보는 해양의 유체 이동속도를 추정하는데 유용하다. 유체의 이동속도는 측정된 도플러 중심주파수(estimated Doppler centroid)와 예측된 도플러 중심주파수(predicted Doppler centroid) 사이의 차이를 측정함으로써 계산될 수 있다. 예측된 도플러 중심주파수는 표적이 움직이지 않는다고 가정했을 때의 중심주파수로서 위성의 궤도, 시선 각, 자세 등과 같은 기하모델을 통해 계산될 수 있고, 측정된 도플러 중심주파수는 실제 SAR 촬영시 표적의 움직임에 해당하는 도플러 중심주파수로서 원시자료에 기록된 정보를 이용하고 평균상관계수법(Average Cross Correlation Coefficient; ACCC)을 적용하여 추출될 수 있다. 이렇게 추출된 도플러 속도에서 브래그 공명을 일으키는 표면 장력파의 위상속도를 제거하여 좀더 정밀한 표층 해류의 속도를 추출하였다. 이러한 기법들을 동해를 촬영한 Envisat ASAR 원시자료에 적용하였으며, 추출된 해류속도를 HF-radar에서 관측한 해류속도와 비교하였다. Space-borne Synthetic Aperture Radar(SAR) has been one of the most effective tools for monitoring quantitative oceanographic physical parameters. The Doppler information recorded in single-channel SAR raw data can be useful in estimating moving velocity of water mass in ocean. The Doppler shift is caused by the relative motion between SAR sensor and the water mass of ocean surface. Thus, the moving velocity can be extracted by measuring the Doppler anomaly between extracted Doppler centroid and predicted Doppler centroid. The predicted Doppler centroid, defined as the Doppler centroid assuming that the target is not moving, is calculated based on the geometric parameters of a satellite, such as the satellite's orbit, look angle, and attitude with regard to the rotating Earth. While the estimated Doppler shift, corresponding to the actual Doppler centroid in the situation of real SAR data acquisition, can be extracted directly from raw SAR signal data, which usually calculated by applying the Average Cross Correlation Coefficient(ACCC). The moving velocity was further refined to obtain ocean surface current by subtracting the phase velocity of Bragg-resonant capillary waves. These methods were applied to Envisat ASAR raw data acquired in the East Sea, and the extracted ocean surface currents were compared with the current measured by HF-radar.
Optimised metrics for CRISPR-KO screens with second-generation gRNA libraries (2017)

Genome-wide CRISPR-based knockout (CRISPR-KO) screening is an emerging technique which enables systematic genetic analysis of a cellular or molecular phenotype in question. Continuous improvements, such as modifications to the guide RNA (gRNA) scaffold and the development of gRNA on-target prediction algorithms, have since been made to increase their screening performance. We compared the performance of three available second-generation human genome-wide CRISPR-KO libraries that included at least one of the improvements, and examined the effect of gRNA scaffold, number of gRNAs per gene and number of replicates on screen performance. We identified duplicated screens using a library with 6 gRNAs per gene as providing the best trade-off. Despite the improvements, we found that each improved library still has library-specific false negatives and, for the first time, estimated the false negative rates of CRISPR-KO screens, which are between 10% and 20%. Our newly-defined optimal screening parameters would be helpful in designing screens and constructing bespoke gRNA libraries.
The changing effect of managed care on physician financial incentives. (2008)

Managed care and traditional indemnity plans were substantially more similar in their effects on physician incentives to provide care by 2004-2005 than they were just 3 years earlier. This should alleviate policy concerns that managed care is providing physicians with the "wrong" financial incentives to provide care.

A Single Critical Mask Process for Manufacturing Very Large Area MOS-Controlled Power Transistors (1992)

The ability to remove heat from a device constitutes the most fundamental limitation to the performance of a high power device. Other figures of merit such as response time and case of control further differentiate one device type from another. In the past, solutions for higher power for MOS devices have meant finer linewidth where incremental packing density improvement chisels away at forward drop. More recently, newer device configurations (IGBTs and MCTs) employing conductivity modulation, higher mobility semiconductors (SiC, III-V compounds, Diamond) and better thermal property packaging materials combine to promise faster and higher power devices in the future. In this paper, the concept of effectively linking processing procedure with device design to permit manufacturing of very large area devices is presented. Large device area is central to high power applications.
A coordinated active and reactive power control strategy for grid-connected cascaded photovoltaic (PV) system in high voltage high power applications (2013)

This paper presents a grid-connected high voltage high power PV system with cascaded multilevel inverters. A coordinated active and reactive power control strategy is proposed to achieve an effective active and reactive power distribution for each PV inverter module, as well as improve the system power quality and reliability. Vector diagrams are derived to illustrate the power distribution principle. Accordingly, a control system, including the active and reactive control extraction, voltage distribution and synthesization, and 3 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">rd</sup> harmonic voltage injection is developed. Finally, a 3MW/12kV PV system with the proposed control strategy is modeled and simulated in MATLAB+PSIM platform. A downscaled PV system including two cascaded 5kW inverters with proposed control strategy is also implemented in the laboratory. The simulation results are presented to verify the validity of the proposed technology.

Young Persons' Perspectives on the Influence of Family Transitions on Sibling Relationships (2003)

Abstract This exploratory study examines young persons' perceptions of sibling relationships in the context of parental divorce experienced during childhood. Thirty undergraduate participants (17-24 years) were interviewed individually (Adult & Divorce Sibling Relationship Interview) to describe sibling relationships now, before, during, and after parental separation. A grounded theory analysis revealed seven qualitative themes. A subsequent content analysis examined the frequencies of these psychosocial themes in interview protocols together with participant characteristics (gender, age now and at time of parents' separation, sibling dyad, custody arrangement). Consistent with behaviourally-oriented quantitative results, some participants reported increased sibling conflict post-separation, but this was typically considered short-lived and tied to more permanent feelings of sibling closeness following from experiencing their parents' divorces together.
Toward the Conquest of Beriberi. (1961)

Man's painful acquaintance with beriberi now covers more than 300 years. Remedies of increasing efficacy have been available for 50 years but large population segments still suffer from this deficiency state. This partly autobiographical volume details the contributions of Dr. Robert R. Williams to the isolation, identification, and synthesis of thiamine. Parts of the book are briskly written, and in one of these chapters the reader can scarcely leave. The pace, however, is not sustained and in the latter third of the book interest often wanes in a mass of detail. Full credit is given Colonel Vedder, whose name is synonymous with the American literature on beriberi. The admiration and affection of the author for him recur often until he puts it finally, "His approach to medical problems was always scientific and critical and in experiments he was direct and bold. I owe him much." Williams' own approach might be
Intelligent consistency checking method for the use case model (2003)

In the development of complex software system, it is important to use hierarchical use case model due to the complex scope of development procedure. The use case model is core factor of the OMG (Object Management Group)'s UML (Unified Modeling Language) diagrams. In this paper, we propose a novel method to check syntactic consistency automatically in use case models at the different level of abstraction. This method is a rule-based approach which utilizes actor tree, use case tree and use case description. The proposed method is simulated on ITS (Intelligent Transportation System) architecture for the verification.
Resonant switching power conversion (1976)

A description is given of the operating cycle of the resonant switching dc-to-dc power converter. A method is outlined for precise voltage regulation against line and load changes. Sufficient analysis is presented to form the basis for preliminary design to meet any set of input and output requirements. Performance features are outlined for a flight qualified, highly efficient, light weight resonant switching converter for the U. S. Navy's Navigation Technology Satellite (NTS-2).
Conjugate Addition of Indoles to Nitroalkenes Promoted by Basic Alumina in Solventless Conditions (2006)

Abstract Basic alumina is found to promote the conjugate addition of indoles to nitroalkenes in solventless conditions at 60 °C. Nitroalkenes can be replaced by nitro alcohols that are converted into nitroolefins under the reaction conditions. Alternatively, a tandem nitroaldol‐dehydration allows the utilization of nitroalkanes and aldehydes as remote precursors of reactive nitroalkenes in a ‘one–pot’ synthesis of 3‐substituted indoles.
