Multi-video summarization using complex graph clustering and mining (2010)

Multi-video summarization is a great theoretical and technical challenge due to the wider diversity of topics in multi-video than singlevideo as well as the multi-modality nature of multi-video over multidocument. In this paper, we propose an approach to analyze both visual and textual features across a set of videos and to create a so-called circular storyboard composed of topic-representative keyframes and keywords. We formulate the generation of circular storyboard as a problem of complex graph clustering and mining, in which each separated shot from visual data and each extracted keyword from speech transcripts are first structured into a complex graph and grouped into clusters; hidden topics in the representative keyframes and keywords are then mined from clustered complex graph while at the same time maximizing the coverage of the summary over the original video set. We also design experiments to evaluate the effectiveness of our approach and the proposed approach shows a better performance than two other storyboard baselines.

A CRITIQUE OF GELLHORN AND KIELYʼS MYSTICAL STATES OF CONSCIOUSNESS (1974)

Gellhorn and Kiely's attempt to generate a neurophysiological theory which accounts for the psychophysiological states produced during Zen and Yoga meditation is criticized because it: a) ignores fundamental differences within and between the various meditations; b) fails to consider certain important published evidence on Yoga meditation; and c) provides an ambiguous interpretation of trophotropic and ergotropic effects on the orienting reflex. It is concluded that their theory is in need of revision before it can adequately explain the differential effects of both Zen and Yoga meditation.

Current evidence indicates that the novel aldosterone inhibitor LCI699 is an effective and well-tolerated antihypertensive agent that lowers plasma aldosterone concentration and produces a mild ACTH-stimulated cortisol response suppressive effect.
Hierarchy of the Human Natural Killer Cell Response Is Determined by Class and Quantity of Inhibitory Receptors for Self-HLA-B and HLA-C Ligands (2007)

Abstract The interaction of NK inhibitory killer Ig-like receptors (KIRs) with self-MHC class I molecules mediates NK tolerance to self while conferring functional competence. Through single-cell analysis of intracellular IFN-γ production and NK clone cytotoxicity we evaluated the resting NK repertoire, analyzing the responsiveness of NK subgroups expressing discrete combinations of non-KIR and KIR class I-specific receptors. CD94:NKG2A and Ig-like transcript 2 (ILT2)-expressing cells have a modest response to class I-negative target cells, but NK cells expressing inhibitory KIRs to self-MHC class I ligands, both HLA-B and HLA-C ligands, achieve significantly higher effector capacity. There is a dose effect of KIR for self-MHC on effector capacity, but even in the most highly responsive NK cells expressing more than one inhibitory KIR for self-MHC the presentation of only one cognate MHC ligand is sufficient to abolish response. Among KIR+ cells there is preferential expression for inhibitory KIR for self-MHC. The likelihood of KIR expression is influenced by whether other KIRs are already expressed on the same cell, supporting a model of serial acquisition of KIR expression. These findings define how inhibitory receptor and autologous HLA interactions impact single-cell function and demonstrate that the resting human NK repertoire is highly attuned but variegated in response. These findings have important implications for the resting NK response to viral pathogens and malignancy, for donor selection in allogeneic hemopoietic cell transplantation, and for models of NK tolerance.
Detecting novel steganography with an anomaly-based strategy (2004)

Popular press and congressional record report a belief by the intelligence community that Al Qaeda members communicate through messages embedded invisibly in images shared via the Internet. This is certainly plausible as steganography has a rich history of military and civilian use. Current signature-based approaches for detecting the presence of hidden messages rely on discerning "footprints" of steganographic tools. Of greater recent concern is detecting the use of novel tools for which no signature has been established. This research addresses this concern by using a method for detecting anomalies in seemingly innocuous images, applying a genetic algorithm within a computational immune system to leverage powerful image processing through wavelet analysis. The sensors developed with this system demonstrated a surprising level of capability to detect the use of steganographic tools for which the system had no previous exposure, including one tool designed to be statistically stealthy.

Simulation and Monitoring of a University Network for Bandwidth Efficiency Utilization (2013)

As organization networks grow, it is essential that network administrators have knowledge of the different types of traffic traversing their networks and the methods of monitoring such traffic. Traffic monitoring and analysis is essential in order to troubleshoot and resolve issues as they occur in order not to bring the network to a total collapse. There are numerous tools and methods available for network traffic monitoring and analysis, no administrator can effectively carry out such activities without in-depth knowledge of the traffic on the network. The inefficient management of the network traffic may result into network collapse or degradation and these may negatively affect the network performance of the Corporate or University networks. This paper therefore, proposed a developed network topology and simulation to monitor the network performance. Therefore, achieving an effective management and controlling of the increase traffic flows in the network. The result obtained shows a better network performance in the bandwidth usage and utilization of the University network.
Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks: Current Trends and Future Directions (2010)

Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks (WMSNs) have emerged and shifted the focus from the typical scalar wireless sensor networks to networks with multimedia devices that are capable to retrieve video, audio, images, as well as scalar sensor data. WMSNs are able to deliver multimedia content due to the availability of inexpensive CMOS cameras and microphones coupled with the significant progress in distributed signal processing and multimedia source coding techniques. In this paper, we outline the design challenges of WMSNs, give a comprehensive discussion of the proposed architectures, algorithms and protocols for the different layers of the communication protocol stack for WMSNs, and evaluate the existing WMSN hardware and testbeds. The paper will give the reader a clear view of the state of the art at all aspects of this research area, and shed the light on its main current challenges and future trends. We also hope it will foster discussions and new research ideas among its researchers.
Interpolating sampled cross-correlation surfaces of images for fine registration (1980)

Spatially sampled pictures may be registered to an accuracy of half a pixel by computing the extremum of the cross-correlation surface; when a higher accuracy is required it is necessary to interpolate the cross-correlation surface. It is shown that, when product correlation is used, the interpolation of the cross-correlation surface is equivalent to using the same interpolation process to derive interpolated versions of the reference picture and cross-correlating them with the current picture to establish the surface with arbitrarily fine granularity. When the computationally faster `squared-difference? correlation algorithm is used, it is shown that exactly the same registration result may be obtained by augmenting the cross-correlation surface in the vicinity of the extremum prior to interpolation with terms computed from the reference picture. The derivation of the augmentation terms is shown usually to represent a negligible computational load.
The potential role of respiratory therapy equipment in cross infection. A study using a canine model for pneumonia. (1983)

Experimental Pseudomonas aeruginosa pneumonia was induced in 8 dogs that had radiation-induced leukopenia. Three dogs were supported by mechanical ventilation (MV), 3 received continuous heated aerosol therapy (CHAT), and 2 did not receive respiratory therapy and served as control animals. The animals were studied in a carefully controlled environment until they succumbed to infection or they were killed at 24 h. An air sampler was used to collect exhaled P. aeruginosa aerosols at distances as far as 15 feet from the dogs at multiple time intervals. Water condensate in the tubing of MV and CHAT equipment was collected and cultured at the same intervals. Results showed that all dogs had multilobar P. aeruginosa pneumonia at necropsy. Control dogs did not exhale aerosols containing P. aeruginosa. Animals that were supported by MV, exhaled contaminated aerosols, but organisms could not be recovered at distances greater than 2 feet. In contrast, aerosols containing P. aeruginosa were recovered at distances as far as 15 feet from the animals receiving CHAT. Furthermore, as much as 1L of water condensate was collected in a 24-h period from tubing associated with MV and CHAT. Although the nebulizers and humidifiers remained sterile, tubing condensate was contaminated with as much as 10(7) colony-forming units per ml of P. aeruginosa in 5 of the 6 animals receiving either MV or CHAT. Contamination of tubing by P. aeruginosa was present as early as 8 to 12 h. This study identifies potential sources for cross infection through an airborne route for CHAT or from direct contact with contaminated tubing.
Study on a moir$\acute{e}$ Artifact in the Use of Carbon Interspaced Antiscatter Grids for Digital Radiography (2008)

Antiscatter grids are widely used in radiography to remove scattered X-rays and thus improve the image contrast. However, the use of grids makes moir artifact in the digital image, and this can be a critical reason for a mistaken diagnosis. In this paper, we examined that moire artifacts are how to relate with grid frequency, pixel pitch and grid rotation angle. To experiment we prepared 6 grids having different line frequencies (4.0 to 8.5lines/mm) and tested with a DR imager having a pixel size. In the result of this experiment, we could get data about moir artifact that could be make solution to remove the line artifact for the successful use of the grid in digital radiography. The acquired data and theory through this experiment, are expected to make contribution to the elimination of moir artifact in the DR system.
Design of Viscoelastic Dampers for Columbia Center Building (1986)

To reduce the dynamic response of a building with a given height and plan area to wind load, aside from inherent damping of the building, the designer has a few options available to him/her. Increasing the stiffness by adding mass and/or increasing damping by utilization of dampers. Added damping is more economical than adding stiffness or mass to control dynamic response. The function of a damper in the building is to transfer a portion of the vibratory energy of the structure into heat and dissipate this heat into the surroundings. This paper will discuss the design and the employment of certain types of dampers for the Columbia Center Building in Seattle, Washington.
Network-based Hybrid Intrusion Detection and Honeysystems as Active Reaction Schemes (2007)

Summary This paper presents some proposals and contributions in network-based intrusion-related technologies. Two key points are discussed in this line: anomaly-based intrusion detection, and active response mechanisms. The first issue is mainly focused on the consideration of a stochastic approach to model the normal behavior of the network system to be monitored and protected. This anomaly-based detection methodology is combined with a signature-based one, thus resulting in a hybrid detection system, in order to improve the overall detection throughput. On the other hand, a honeysystem-based approach is also introduced to deal with the development of a pro-active response mechanism in the context of intrusion detection technologies. Both of the aspects, detection and reaction, will be studied as functional modules of an integral intrusion platform developed from a current available IDS tool.

ESM processor system for high pulse density radar environments (1985)

A radar ESM system performs two functions: warning of impending threats and surveillance to determine radar activities. Automatic radar ESM systems are passive radar receivers which receive emissions from other platforms, measure the parameters of each pulse received and thus sort the emissions to enable determination of the radar parameters for each emitter. These parameters are then compared with values stored for known radar types, to identify the emitter-type likely threat and platform. The paper concentrates on emitter de-interleaving of pulse data streams of several hundred thousand pulses/second, which is one of the processing steps involved. Emitter de-interleaving involves sorting the received radar pulses into separate trains, each train associated with asingle emitter. The Cutlass automatic radar ESM system, which is widely in service, is used as an example. Emphasis is placed on the advantages of its pipelined architecture for operating in high pulse density environments.
Use of native or platelet count adjusted platelet rich plasma for platelet aggregation measurements (2005)

Background: It is still not clear whether native or platelet count adjusted platelet rich plasma (PRP) should be used for platelet aggregation measurements. Aim: To evaluate the necessity of using adjusted PRP in platelet function testing. Methods: Platelet aggregation with native PRP and adjusted PRP (platelet count: 250/nl, obtained by diluting native PRP with platelet poor plasma) was performed on the Behring Coagulation Timer (BCT®) using ADP, collagen, and arachidonic acid as agonists. Healthy subjects, patients on antiplatelet treatment, and patients with thrombocytosis (platelet counts in PRP > 1250/nl) were investigated. Results: No significant differences in the maximum aggregation response were seen when using either native or adjusted PRP from healthy subjects and patients on antiplatelet treatment. Nevertheless, some patients taking aspirin or clopidogrel showed reduced inhibition of ADP and arachidonic acid induced aggregation in adjusted PRP but not in native PRP. The maximum velocity of healthy subjects and patients on antiplatelet treatment varied significantly as a result of the degree of dilution of the adjusted PRP. Surprisingly, the BCT provided good results when measuring platelet aggregation of native PRP from patients with thrombocytosis, whereas commonly used aggregometers could not analyse platelet aggregation of native PRP in these patients. Conclusion: The time consuming process of PRP adjustment may not be necessary for platelet aggregation measurements. Moreover, using adjusted PRP for monitoring aspirin or clopidogrel treatment may falsify results. Therefore, it may be better to use native PRP for platelet aggregation measurements, even in patients with thrombocytosis.
Radio that listens to me: Y!Music web radio (2006)

A study of listening to Y!Music revealed the extent to which it was an interactive experience. The auto-ethnography was conducted as a capture of the music stream and a journal of interactions with the station. The music that was played was then analysed to determine the effect of judgements on the selections. The listening state was identified through involvement in the optional activities provided: accessing additional information, shopping for music and music related products, and communicating with other fans. The study revealed that the music-rating algorithm used by Y!Music is complex and it takes time to work out the implications of particular interactions. Y!Music may have been listening to me, but it took time and energy to make our communications effective. This effort, combined with the range of activities that accompanied listening, meant that web radio was a more engaging experience than the usual experience of broadcast radio.
OpenMP Application in TM-based Parallel Program (2012)

To solve the synchronization problems in the parallel programming, such as dead lock, priority inversion and convoy, the concept of transactional memory(TM) had been introduced. In this paper, some basic concepts about TM are presented at first, and several key implementation technologies are analyzed. Then some typical TM systems are introduced in detail. Finally, the examples using Open TM or Intel C++ STM Compiler Prototype Edition which are the extensions of Open are given.
Materials Selection for Engineering Design (2013)

This chapter describes a systematic methodology for optimized materials selection and informatics to support it. The starting point is a set of technical requirements for component or subsystem. These are translated into a set of limits or target values for material properties or property combinations (". material indices"). It is then possible - given a comprehensive database of appropriate materials and their properties - to screen materials against these criteria, rank the remaining materials by their ability to maximize a target value of one or more indices, and finally draw in other associated documentation to make an optimally informed decision. The reasoning is made transparent by displaying the steps and the materials that pass and fail the screening steps on material property charts that present materials on axes of their properties or of the material indices. The full decision-making history can be captured and stored for traceability and future reference.We give examples of selecting materials to minimize the mass and cost for ties, panels, and beams. The method applies equally when the design objective is to minimize environmental impact or other criteria. Beyond this, the methodology can drive development of new materials that fill "holes" in property space. The chapter concludes with an example focusing on new lightweight hybrid materials. © 2013 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

The Chemical and Biological Effects of <i>cis</i> -Dichlorodiammineplatinum (II), an Antitumor Agent, on DNA (1974)

cis-Dichlorodiammineplatinum (II) binds irreversibly to the bases in DNA; the amount of platinum complex bound can be determined from changes in the ultraviolet absorption spectrum. As the ratio of platinum to phosphate is increased, an increasing inactivation of bacterial transforming DNA is observed. At a ratio that corresponds to spectrometric saturation, transforming activity is inactivated >10(5)-fold. The trans isomer of the platinum complex, which is not effective against tumors, induces a similar inactivation of transforming DNA but with half the efficiency, indicating a different mode of binding. The sensitivity to inactivation by cis isomer varies slightly with the genetic marker assayed but is not dependent on the excision repair system. Uptake of DNA by competent cells is unaffected by bound platinum complex; however, integration of platinum-bound transforming DNA into the host genome decreases as the mole fraction of platinum increases. This loss of integration parallels the decreased transforming activity of the DNA. Although the drug induces interstrand crosslinks in DNA in vitro, these crosslinks are relatively rare events and cannot account for the observed inactivation.
Sidelobe Suppression in an Acousto-optic Filter with a Raised-Cosine Interaction Strength (1992)

The acousto-optic filter (AOF) is becoming increasingly important in optical communication research because of its unmatched potential in densely-packed WDM systems. In comparison to the Fabry-Perot, their main competitor, AOFs have a larger tuning range-to-bandpass /ratio, are more than a thousand times faster, are free of hysteresis (a problem with all-fiber Fabry-Perots), are able to parallel process many wavelength channels at a time (the Fabry-Perot is a single-state device, unless ganged in a complicated and inherently lossy way) and are able to be configured as a 4-port switch
