Técnicas e algoritmos de Link Analysis na geração de medidas de similaridade (2012)

Esta dissertacao estuda tecnicas de Link Analysis para o problema de se calcular similaridade entre artigos academicos organizados em uma biblioteca digital. Neste trabalho construimos um conjunto de dados e desenvolvemos um protocolo experimental para avaliar a eficacia das tecnicas desenvolvidas. Para lidar com a alta complexidade dos algoritmos de similaridade para o nosso conjunto de dados, estudamos tecnicas de amostragem de grafos e avaliamos objetivamente a qualidade das amostras geradas por estes metodos. A partir deste estudo, propomos um novo algoritmo de amostragem baseado na tecnica Forest Fire. Experimentos realizados demonstram a superioridade do algoritmo de amostragem proposto. Alem disso, apresenta-se uma nova meta-funcao de similaridade para artigos academicos que considera apenas a informacao de citacao entre artigos, sem levar em conta o conteudo textual e seus metadados para dizer o quanto um artigo e similar a outro. Esta meta-funcao transforma medidas de similaridade locais, como o coeficiente Jaccard e Adamic/Adar, em medidas recursivas, cuja similaridade depende recursivamente da similaridade de outros artigos relacionados, explorando a ideia de que dois artigos sao mais similares na medida em que estao associados a artigos que tambem sao similares. Para avaliacao de eficacia do metodo proposto, criamos um gabarito de similaridade, que deriva da classificacao hierarquica dos artigos no sistema de classificacao de 1998 da Association for Computer Machinery (ACM). Este gabarito cria uma nocao de similaridade tal que dois artigos sao mais similares na medida em que sao classificados em classes similares, isto e, que estao em classes hierarquicamente proximas. Experimentos sao conduzidos no grafo de citacao de artigos, extraido da biblioteca digital da ACM, contendo um subconjunto de 122.774 artigos e 523.699 arestas de citacoes, e comparam esta nova meta funcao de similaridade com o gabarito de similaridade e revelam que esta gera melhor eficacia que as medidas de similaridade locais consideradas. Alem disso, avaliamos esta tecnica na atividade pratica de busca, por exemplo, e confirmamos que este meta-algoritmo melhora a eficacia das medidas locais consideradas. 
Abstract
Psychological research methods in the human use of computers (panel session) (1985)

Psychological research methods have been used with increasing frequency in work on computer-human interaction. Judging from the state of the literature and from remarks heard in the halls at conferences such as this, the utility and appropriate roles of such methods are not yet clear. Panel members, who are all research psychologists working on issues related to human use of computers, will present a variety of contrasting views on how to go about such research, and on its proper goals. John Gould will describe two different but complimentary approaches, applied research on general design issues, and formative human factors participation in development. John Anderson will discuss the use of formal models of human cognition. Phil Barnard will consider the role of applied research in the discovery of underlying principles to guide design. Tom Landauer will propose that psychological research can be the basis for invention of new “;cognitive tools”. Short synopses of the positions they will take e given below. Panel members hope that the audience will join them in bringing out important differences between the various approaches and methods and arguing their absolute and relative merits.
Gasphasengleichgewichte quaternärer Bismut-Selen-Oxidchloride (2000)

Die Existenz der Verbindungen Bi4O4SeCl2, Bi10O12SeCl4 und Bi22O28SeCl8 im System Bi2O3/Bi2Se3/BiCl3 wurde durch Festkörperreaktionen und Chemischen Transport nachgewiesen. Darüber hinaus wurden die Festkörper-Gasphasengleichgewichte für die Verbindungen massenspektrometrisch untersucht. Dabei wurde die Gasspezies BiSeCl erstmals experimentell nachgewiesen und ihre Geometrie und thermochemischen Eigenschaften über ab-initio Molekülberechnungen charakterisiert. Weiterführende thermodynamische Modellierungen der heterogenen Gleichgewichte unterstützen das Verständnis der experimentellen Ergebnisse zur Gasphasenzusammensetzung sowie zum Chemischen Transport. Gas-Phase Equilibria of Quaternary Bismuth Selenium Oxidechlorides The existence of new compounds Bi4O4SeCl2, Bi10O12SeCl4, and Bi22O28SeCl8 in the pseudoternary area Bi2O3/Bi2Se3/BiCl3 has been established by solid state and chemical vapour transport reactions. Furthermore, heterogeneous equilibria between solid state and vapour phase have been studied by mass-spectrometric measurements. The novel gas-molecule BiSeCl has been detected. The results of ab initio calculations for structure and refining of thermochemistry of this molecule are given: (Bi–Se) = 2,44 Å; (Bi–Cl) = 2,49 Å; (Se–Bi–Cl) = 106,0°; Thermodynamics: δH°B,298 (BiSeClg) = 6,0 kcal/mol; S°298 (BiSeClg) = 75,8 cal/mol K; Cp (BiSeClg) = 13,583 + 0,64 · 10–3 · T – 0,41 · 105 · T–2 – 0,35 · 10–6 · T2 cal/mol K. Finally, the composition of the gaseous phase has been calculated and estimations about chemical vapour transport were carried out by thermodynamic modelling.
Studies on Anti-cancer Agents. VII (1963)

Preliminary experiments revealed that (2-bromo-4, 5-dimethoxyphenyl) acetic acid hydrazide possessed an anti-cancer action. Therefore, various hydrazide derivatives were synthesized and their anti-cancer action was examined. None of the compounds synthesized, i.e. 2-halogeno-4, 5-dialkoxybenzoic acid hydrazide, (2-halogeno-4, 5-dialkoxyphenyl) acetic acid hydrazide, 2-halogeno-4, 5-dialkoxyhydrocinnamic acid hydrazide, and their related compounds, showed any better effect than 6-mercaptopurine.
The hyperfine structure of<sup>121</sup>Sb and<sup>123</sup>Sb (1960)

Abstract The hyperfine structure of the J=3/2 ground state of 121Sb and 123Sb has been studied by the atomic beam magnetic resonance method, and the results are consistent with the following values for the interaction constants: gJ =-l·9705±0·0002, A 121=-(299·034 ± 0·004) Mc/s, A 123=-(162·451 ± 0·003) Mc/s, B 121=-(3·68±0·02) Mc/s, and B 123=-(4·67 ± 0·03) Mc/s. To the accuracy of the measurements there was no evidence for an octupole interaction. From the B values one obtains Q 121=-(0·20 ± 0·03) x 10−24 cm2 and Q 123=-(0·20 ± 0·04) x 10−24 cm2, and comparison of A 121/A 123 with the ratio of g 121/g 123 already published gives -0·318±0·003% for the hyperfine structure anomaly. Intermediate coupling theory accounts satisfactorily for gJ , but an admixture of excited s states is necessary to explain the observed magnetic interaction and anomaly.
Low Cost Control and Monitoring Motion Control ICs (2006)

For a long time, controlling AC motors in an efficient way, was a task only in the reach of some very specific electronic design engineers. Now, with the uprise of integrated platforms it is possible to implement, with almost no effort, the desired application, customizing almost everything at the reach of a simple and user friendly software interface. However, the simplicity in control and monitoring has a major settle back. As expected, such products, very desirable by the market, are only sold in conjunction with an evaluation platform. Sometimes this platform does not fit the consumer needs and buying the full package is not a satisfactory solution, especially if it is just to get the control and monitoring software. In this paper, it is shown that low cost alternatives are possible. Using free tools and manufacturer's documentation, it is simple to implement motor control with the desired IC by means of a very intuitive and complete graphical unit interface (GUI), built attending our special needs
Conditional Visual Tracking in Kernel Space (2005)

We present a conditional temporal probabilistic framework for reconstructing 3D human motion in monocular video based on descriptors encoding image silhouette observations. For computational efficiency we restrict visual inference to low-dimensional kernel induced non-linear state spaces. Our methodology (kBME) combines kernel PCA-based non-linear dimensionality reduction (kPCA) and Conditional Bayesian Mixture of Experts (BME) in order to learn complex multivalued predictors between observations and model hidden states. This is necessary for accurate, inverse, visual perception inferences, where several probable, distant 3D solutions exist due to noise or the uncertainty of monocular perspective projection. Low-dimensional models are appropriate because many visual processes exhibit strong non-linear correlations in both the image observations and the target, hidden state variables. The learned predictors are temporally combined within a conditional graphical model in order to allow a principled propagation of uncertainty. We study several predictors and empirically show that the proposed algorithm positively compares with techniques based on regression, Kernel Dependency Estimation (KDE) or PCA alone, and gives results competitive to those of high-dimensional mixture predictors at a fraction of their computational cost. We show that the method successfully reconstructs the complex 3D motion of humans in real monocular video sequences.
ECONOMIC CONSIDERATIONS IN FLUIDIZED BED DRYING OF PASTES USING INERT PARTICLES (1987)

ABSTRACT A fluidized bed of inert particles lpar;packing)--> can be used advantageously for the drying of paste-like materials of high moisture content. Wet pasty material is fed into a fluidized bed of chemically inert coarse particles. The wet material coats the surface of the inert particles. Drying takes place mainly in the thin layer formed on the surface of particles. After reaching a certain moisture content, the dried material film breaks off the surface of the packing particles, and leave the fluidized bed as a fine powder in the exit gas stream. Experiments were performed using different organic and inorganic materials e.g. raw materials from human and veterinary

Informing Drug Design: Human Acetylcholinesterase Response to Organophosphate Poisoning (2012)

Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is target enzyme of organophosphate (OP). Curent treatments for OP poisoning i.e. oximes, have limited success, especially without pre-treatment. This study uses molecular dynamic analysis to shine light on structure and dynamical fluctuations of free AChE and OP-inhibited AChE. Knowledge gained by the study of OP inhibition of acetylocholinesterase should guide future drug designs of more effective antitoxins.
Comparison of ELISA and Microscopy for Detection of Cryptosporidium Oocysts in Animals (2015)

A C T Cryptosporidium parasite has gained an attention as an emerging pathogen in the last few decades. It is a zoonotic and is transmitted via the fecal-oral route; this has been implicated as one of the more important opportunistic infections in patients with Acquired immune deficiency syndrome. The results showed the presence of Cryptosporidium oocyst in fecal of sheep (11.1 and 22.2%), goats (15.5 and 10.3%) and camels (18.4 and 22.4%) by using microscopic Ziehl-Neelsen and a serological Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, respectively. Since there is no a gold standard technique for detection of Cryptosporidium oocysts; this study aimed to compare the efficacy of microscopic tests in the detection of oocysts in feces with ELISA assay. Results showed that positive samples (22.4 and 22.2%) were detected by ELISA in camels and sheep respectively. Contrary, Ziehl-Neelsen exceeded ELISA in the detection of oocysts in goats samples (15.5 and 10.3%) respectively. Statistical analysis clarified a significant correlation between Ziehl-Neelsen and ELISA for the detection of Cryptosporidium oocysts.
Radiation transfer model intercomparison (RAMI) exercise (2001)

The community involved in modeling radiation transfer over terrestrial surfaces designed and implemented the first phase of a radiation transfer model intercomparison (RAMI) exercise. This paper discusses the rationale and motivation for this endeavor, presents the intercomparison protocol as well as the evaluation procedures, and describes the principal results. Participants were asked to simulate the transfer of radiation for a variety of precisely defined terrestrial environments and illumination conditions. These were abstractions of typical terrestrial systems and included both homogeneous and heterogeneous scenes. The differences between the results generated by eight different models, including both one‐dimensional and three‐dimensional approaches, were then documented and analyzed. RAMI proposed a protocol to quantitatively assess the consequences of the model discrepancies with respect to application, such as those motivating the development of physically based inversion procedures. This first phase of model intercomparison has already proved useful in assessing the ability of the modeling community to generate similar radiation fields despite the large panoply of models that were tested. A detailed analysis of the results also permitted to identify apparent “outliers” and their main deficiencies. Future undertakings in this intercomparison framework must be oriented toward an expansion of RAMI into other and more complex geophysical systems as well as the focusing on actual inverse problems.
STAT Signaling and Cell Function (2002)

The signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) proteins and their mechanisms of signaling were originally discovered in the context of normal interferon signaling, where they have been shown to have specific roles in mediating host defenses. It is now known that many cytokines, hormones and growth factors utilize STAT signaling pathways to control a remarkable variety of biological responses, including development, differentiation, cell proliferation, and survival. Given the critical roles of STAT proteins in these fundamental cellular processes, which are often altered in cancer, there is accumulating evidence defining a critical role for STAT proteins in oncogenesis. Members of this relatively small family of proteins serve as both transducers of cytoplasmic signals and nuclear transcription factors, thereby directly converting a stimulus at the cell surface to an alteration in the genetic program. Moreover, STAT proteins can cross-talk with other central signaling pathways, such as the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family of proteins and the nuclear receptor signaling pathways. On the othe r hand, other proteins are known to interact with and modulate STAT signaling pathways, including histone acetyl-transferases and the protein inhibitor of activated STAT (PIAS) family of protein. The present review will try to address some questions concerning the increasingly complex biological functions of STAT proteins, the many diverse mechanisms of STAT regulation and the expanding number of target genes that mediate the biological responses elicited by STAT signaling pathways.
A system for synthesizing distributed algorithm skeletons (2003)

Linear time propositional temporal logic has been proposed as a specification language for the synthesis of distributed program skeletons by P.L. Wolper (Proc. of Principles of Prog. Lang., p.20-33, 1982). He also outlined a method for the synthesis of distributed programs with centralized controls. However, details of the implementation of the algorithms and how to overcome the centralized control of distributed programs have not been investigated. The authors report the implementation of a system to synthesize fully distributed concurrent programs. The overall structure of the system and algorithms are described. Also, their method of handling noncentralized distributed systems is presented. The system is demonstrated by its application to the synthesis of the distributed mutual exclusion algorithm. Finally the complexity and the applications of such a system are discussed.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Simultaneous electrochemical detection of both PSMA (+) and PSMA (−) prostate cancer cells using an RNA/peptide dual-aptamer probe (2010)

Using an RNA/peptide dual-aptamer probe, both PSMA (+) and PSMA (-) prostate cancer cells were simultaneously detected by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. This approach can be applied as a general tool for early diagnosis of prostate cancer.
Cation exchange in the system Ca<sup>II</sup> or Mg<sup>II</sup> + complexing‐agent + zeolite‐NaA: Equilibria in water‐ethanol (1991)

Abstract The ion‐exchange behaviour of Ca II and Mg II with zeolite NaA in ethanol‐water systems has been studied. The ion‐exchange isotherms show that the affinity of the zeolite for Ca II and Mg II ions decreases with increasing ethanol content, i.e. decreasing dielectric constant of the media. When adding nitrilotriacetate (NTA) as a complexing agent, the selectivity of zeolitic NaA for Ca II and Mg II ions was found to decrease. The exchange phenomena observed are discussed in relation with water distribution and cation coordination preferences. Cation‐anion coordination in mixed solvents was studied using 35 Cl NMR.

Genetic implications of double primary cancers of the colorectum and endometrium. (1998)

Hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) is an autosomal dominant condition predisposing to cancers of the colorectum and endometrium. Endometrial cancer is the most commonly occurring extracolonic cancer in HNPCC. Estimates of the cumulative incidence of endometrial cancer in women with mutations in the HNPCC genes range from 22-43%. In order to determine how frequently double primary cancers of the colorectum and endometrium are the result of a hereditary factor, we conducted a registry based study in Ontario and Quebec, Canada. We obtained pedigrees on 80 women diagnosed with double primary cancers of the colorectum and endometrium at less than 70 years of age. Family histories of cancer were obtained for all first degree relatives of these women and cancer rates were compared with age standardised provincial incidence rates in order to estimate the relative risks. There was a total of 82 cancers observed in relatives below the age of 55, compared with 31.2 expected, giving a relative risk of 2.6 (95% confidence interval (CI) 2.1-3.3). The relative risk for colorectal cancer below 55 was 16.1 (95% CI 11.6-21.8). This risk decreased with increasing age of onset of cancers in probands. For probands with both colorectal and endometrial cancer diagnosed under the age of 55, the relative risk of colorectal cancer in relatives below the age of 55 was 30.5 (95% CI 18.8-46.6). Similar patterns were observed for endometrial and pancreatic cancer. There were non-significant increases in rates of cancer of the oesophagus, stomach, small intestine, and bladder. There was no increased risk of breast cancer. The risk of lung cancer was decreased, especially in older relatives. Our findings indicate the presence of a significant genetic component of cancer in women with double primary cancers of the colorectum and endometrium.
Large stroke miniaturized dielectric elastomer actuators (2009)

We report on miniaturized diaphragm dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) capable of vertical displacement up to 25% of their diameter. Low-energy metal ion implantation was used to create patternable and compliant gold electrodes on both sides of suspended 30 mum thick silicone (PDMS) membranes. This technique enables the microfabrication of bucking-mode actuators capable of out-of-plane displacement of up to 500 mum for 2 mm diameter devices at high frequency (>1 kHz). Device speed is limited by the resonant frequency of the device, not by visco-elastic effects or electrical considerations. This represents the largest percentage and fastest displacement of miniaturized DEAs reported to date.
Task Decomposition for Adaptive Data Staging in Workflows for Distributed Environments. (2009)

Abstract—Scientific workflows are often composed by scientists that are not particularly familiar with performance and fault-tolerance issues of the underlying layer. The inherent nature of the infrastructure and environment for scientific workflow applications means that the movement of data comes with reliability challenges. Improving the reliablility scientific workflows in distributed environments, calls for the decoupling of data staging and computation activities, and each aspect needs to be addressed separately In this paper, we present an approach to managing scientific workflows that specifically provides constructs for reliable data staging. In our framework, data staging tasks are automatically separated from computation tasks in the definition of the workflow. High-level policies can be provided that allow for dynamic adaptation of the workflow to occur. Our approach permits the separate specification of the functional and non-functional requirements of the application and is dynamic enough to allow for the alteration of the workflow at runtime for optimization.
