Developmental biochemistry of cottonseed embryogenesis and germination: changing messenger ribonucleic acid populations as shown by in vitro and in vivo protein synthesis (1981)

Changes in messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) populations during embryogenesis of cottonseed have been followed by cataloging (a) extant proteins, (b) proteins synthesized in vivo, and (c) proteins synthesized in vitro from extracted RNA, all at specific stages of embryogenesis. Evidence is presented for the existence of five mRNA subsets, all apparently under different regulatory regimes, that produce the abundant proteins of embryogenesis. One of these functions principally during the cell division phase of embryogenesis and encodes among its products the seed storage proteins whose mRNA is superabundant during this period. This subset has disappeared from the abundant group by the mature seed stage. Two other subsets appear in late embryogenesis, one of which may result from the removal of the embryo from the maternal environment, since it is inducible by excision of the young embryo from the seed. The other appears to be induced by the plant growth regulator abscisic acid, whose endogenous concentration increases at this stage. It can be induced by incubating excised young embryos in abscisic acid. The last two subsets exist throughout embryogenesis, but only one of them appears to function in germination.
Carrier-phase GNSS attitude determination and control system for unmanned aerial vehicle applications (2012)

This paper presents the results of a research activity performed by Cranfield University to assess the potential of carrierphase Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) for attitude determination and control of small to medium size Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV). Both deterministic and recursive (optimal estimation) algorithms are developed for combining multiple attitude measurements obtained from different observation points (i.e., antenna locations), and their efficiencies are tested in various dynamic conditions. The proposed algorithms converge rapidly and produce the required output even during high dynamics manoeuvres. Results of theoretical performance analysis and simulation activities are presented in this paper, with emphasis on the advantages of the GNSS interferometric approach in UAV applications (i.e., low cost, high data-rate, low volume/weight, low signal processing requirements, etc.). Modelling and simulation activities focussed on the AEROSONDE UAV platform and considered the possible augmentation provided by interferometric GNSS techniques to a low-cost and low-weight/volume integrated navigation system recently developed at Cranfield University, which employs a Vision-based Navigation (VBN) system, a Micro-Electro-mechanical Sensor (MEMS) based Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and code-range GNSS (i.e., GPS and GALILEO) for position and velocity computations. The integrated VBN-IMU-GNSS (VIG) system is augmented by using the inteferometric GNSS Attitude Determination (GAD) and a comparison of the performance achievable with the VIG and VIG/GAD integrated Navigation and Guidance Systems (NGS) is presented. Finally, the data provided by these NGS are used to optimise the design of an hybrid controller employing Fuzzy Logic and Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) techniques for the AEROSONDE UAV.
[Study on the modulation of estrogen receptor isoforms alpha in endometrial carcinoma cells using antisense oligodeoxyribonucleotides]. (2005)

(1) AS-ODNs directed against the human ERalpha can inhibit the expression of ER alpha effectively. The method can be used to built up a model of endometrial cancer cells expressing predominant one isoform of ERs. (2) ERalpha may be the primary receptor in the proliferation of HEC-1B cells in response to 17beta-estradiol and tamoxifen.
A Case Study on the Implementation of a Graphic Special Effect Engine Based on a Particle System (2009)

Recently graphic hardwares have been developed remarkably, and domestic and foreign game users have demanded realistic and spectacular game graphics. Graphic special effects are one of methods to satisfy these requests, but we have not known any cases where graphic special effects are general and thus reusable. Based on the implementation of our graphic special effect engine and its application cases, this paper describes how to easily exploit graphic special effects in developing games. We define a standard file format in which special effect data can be saved and loaded, and thus those data can be reused easily. We also show that developers can test or preview special effects by exploiting our graphic special effect tool even before producing games.
Monoclonal Antibodies to a Purified Human Transferrin Receptor (1984)

BALB/c mice were injected with an affinity-chromatography-purified placental transferrin receptor preparation. Spleen cells were fused with NS-1 myeloma cells. Sixteen hybrids producing monoclonal antibodies specific for the transferrin receptor and two hybrids specific for transferrin were identified by radioimmunoassay (RIA). Five hybrids were selected for cloning on the basis of antibody specificity and affinity. None of the antibodies inhibited the binding of transferrin to K562 cells. The binding of antibody ID9 to K562 cells was partially inhibited by transferrin or a polyclonal goat anti-transferrin receptor antiserum. Of the five antibodies, two (IIB6 and IIB2) reacted only with the purified receptor and solubilized cells and not with whole cells. The other three antibodies, when tested with normal human cells and leukaemia and tumour cell lines, showed identical reaction patterns. The antibodies precipitated a glycoprotein from K562 cells with an apparent molecular weight of 94,000, estimated from sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoretograms run under reducing conditions, and a molecular weight of 188,000 when run under unreduced conditions. All antibodies have a high affinity with Ka values ranging from 1.44 X 10(9) to 3.56 X 10(10) (l/mol). The antigen precipitated by all five antibodies showed identical peptide maps after partial proteolytic digestion.

Evidence quality imaging for bank security (2002)

A long standing problem within the banking security and law enforcement communities has been the inability to use the images recorded with conventional security cameras as definitive evidence in a court of law. The issue with affordable solid state or tube security cameras is the spatial resolution and gray scale resolution. Neither is sufficient. Alternatives using film cameras have proved too expensive and embarrassingly unreliable. The advancement of high resolution solid state cameras promises to overcome today's technological and economic barriers. A series of static tests of the EG&G Reticon model MD4013 camera in a major financial institution in Chicago, Illinois showed such good results that a full scale installation trial was initiated. This trial took place during the late winter through the summer of 1995. The paper first describes the million pixel CCD camera used in the customer's trial, then describes the image capture, storage and communications system used, and finally reports the results of the trial.
A Continuous Estrogen ‐ Progestogen Regimen for Climacteric Complaints (1984)

The lipid composition of serum and the lipoprotein fractions, very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL) and high density lipoprotein (HDL) were determined in 26 peri- and postmenopausal women treated with a daily dose of 2 mg 17-beta-estradiol, 1 mg estriol and 1 mg norethisteroneacetate in a continuous regimen for 12 months. A decrease was noted in all serum lipids, triglycerides, cholesterol and phospholipids during treatment. When comparing the lipid values after 3 and 12 months of treatment a tendency was found to approach pretreatment values with time. A reduction of triglycerides in VLDL after 3 months, concomitant with a decrease in HDL-cholesterol, was interpreted as an effect mainly of the progestogen component. A decrease of free cholesterol in LDL was found during treatment. The ratio of LDL-cholesterol/HDL-cholesterol was unaltered when comparing values before vs. after 3 and 12 months of treatment. Decreased levels of HDL-cholesterol and elevated levels of LDL-cholesterol are considered to be risk factors for coronary heart disease. The significance of lipid metabolic effects induced by treatment in the present study on a longterm basis is hard to evaluate in terms of atherogenicity.
State Hospitals as "the most integrated setting according to their needs". (2013)

In its 1999 Olmstead v. L.C. decision, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that states have an obligation to provide services to individuals with disabilities in “the most integrated setting appropriate to their needs,” as the unjustified institutionalization of people with disabilities is
Evolutionary grouping of the RAS-protein family (1991)

Over 50 proteins related to the mammalian H-, K-, and N-RAS GTP binding and hydrolyzing proteins are known. These relatively low molecular weight proteins are usually grouped into four subfamilies, termed true RAS, RAS-like, RHO, and RAB/YPT, based on the presence of shared amino acid sequence motifs in addition to those involved in guanine nucleotide binding. Here, we apply parsimony analysis to the overall amino acid sequences of these proteins to infer possible phylogenetic relationships among them.
HAWK: An Unmanned Mini-Helicopter-Based Aerial Wireless Kit for Localization (2012)

This paper presents a fully functional and highly portable mini Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) system, HAWK, for conducting aerial localization. HAWK is a programmable mini helicopter Draganflyer X6 armed with a wireless sniffer Nokia N900. We developed custom PI-Control laws to implement a robust waypoint algorithm for the mini helicopter to fly a planned route. A Moore space filling curve is designed as a flight route for HAWK to survey a specific area. A set of theorems were derived to calculate the minimum Moore curve level for sensing all targets in the area with minimum flight distance. With such a flight strategy, we can confine the location of a target of interest to a small hot area. We can recursively apply the Moore curve-based flight route to the hot area for a fine-grained localization of a target of interest. We have conducted extensive experiments to validate the feasibility of HAWK and our theory. A demo of HAWK in autonomous fly is available at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ju86xnHbEq0.
Programming Semantic Web applications : a synthesis of knowledge representation and semi-structured data (2007)

Software application development is largely centered around various representations of data and representations of the world in which the software operates. Often, while a software system itself is specified in terms of procedures and procedural semantics, the data the system uses and manipulates has declarative semantics; connecting the two is often an ad hoc endeavor.\n\nThe issues of complex data representations are amplified within artificial intelligence applications that employ sophisticated knowledge representation. More recently, applications involving Semantic Web technologies are faced with the same situation. The Semantic Web is an attempt to enable sophisticated data representation for and within the context of World Wide Web content, aiming to enable more automated and autonomous applications to be built that take advantage of data on the Web. As such, the Semantic Web represents a vision for the next generation of Web applications and Web usage.\n\nThis dissertation focuses on the representation of (Semantic Web) data as directed, labeled graphs. A method is introduced for querying these representations by expressing path patterns, enabling software programs to be "glued" to complex representations. The query mechanism is then extended to implement reasoning (i.e., logical inference) for this data, and to hide the reasoning process from application programs. A reasoner is presented for data based on an extended version of the RDF(S) data model. The outcome is a synthesis of two views of (Semantic Web) data, namely the view of the data as a logic formalism, and a view of the data as semi-structured graphs.\n\nAn evaluation of the query mechanism is presented, contrasted against other approaches to querying RDF(S) data. Examples of various software applications making use of the Semantic Web, the path query mechanism, and the reasoner are also presented.
Three-Dimensional Wind Measurements and Modeling Using a Bi-Static Fabry-Perot Interferometer System in Brazil (2013)

The earth’s upper atmosphere has been studied for over a century now, and while a multitude of data has been collected studying the plasma in the ionosphere, there are not equivalent amounts of data on neutrals in the thermosphere to pair with these plasma observations. The Remote Equatorial Nighttime Observatory for Ionospheric Regions (RENOIR) project consists of two observing systems stationed in northeastern Brazil in Cajazeiras (6.87◦S, 38.56◦W) and Cariri (7.38◦S, 36.52◦W) since 2009. They are separated by 232.28 km and each is equipped with a Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI) to measure neutral wind velocities and neutral temperatures using observations of the 630.0-nm emission caused by the dissociative recombination of O +2. The FPI systems can operate in two diﬀerent modes: cardinal and common volume (CV). In cardinal mode, each FPI looks at a 45◦ elevation angle towards geographic north, east, south, and west followed by a zenith and laser image. In common volume mode, the two FPIs are synchronized to observe three common locations followed by both a zenith and laser observation. Two common volume points, one to the north and one to the south, are where the two FPIs have the same elevation angle but are looking orthogonal to one another in the horizontal plane. The third point is an inline measurement to the midpoint of the two sites. Vector neutral winds in the horizontal plane can be computed at the two common volume points, and a vertical neutral wind can be found at the inline point. FPIs are phase-based instruments, meaning a zero-reference is needed in order to get an absolute wind measurement. Since there is no practical 630.0-nm lab source, the zero-Doppler source is typically obtained from the zenith airglow measurements because the vertical winds are assumed to be zero across the night. However, the inline zenith measurements give non-zero winds under this assumption, consequently contradicting it. Therefore, the observations of the frequency-stabilized HeNe laser are used as a zero-Doppler reference to improve the derived vertical and horizontal neutral winds. This thesis validates this new technique by both developing an analytical model for the CV winds and by conﬁrming it with results from actual observations made in Brazil.
Targeting of cells involved in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis. (1999)

The pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a consequence of the activation of T cells by as yet unknown antigens and the co-stimulatory molecules CD4 and CD28. A number of potential antigens have been proposed for this process, including type II collagen, heat shock proteins and the glycoprotein gp39. Following activation, T cells initiate the inflammatory cascade through secretion of either interleukin 2 (IL-2) or interferon gamma, or through direct cellular interaction with macrophages and synoviocytes. Targeted therapies in RA are predominantly directed against the T cell. Results of several trials of anti-CD4 antibodies are being evaluated, including those of an anti-IL-6 receptor antibody, which showed short-term effectiveness but some toxicity, and an anti-intercellular adhesion molecule 1 antibody that caused dramatic reduction in rheumatoid factor titres. Non-antibody therapies of RA being studied include nasal administration of gp39 and oral administration of type II articular collagen, but the results of these studies have been equivocal.
Filtering of network addresses in real time by sequential decoding (1988)

The Fano algorithm for sequential decoding permits the simultaneous comparison of a serial bit pattern with a large number of reference patterns, and is applicable to the identification of addresses in local area networks. Such a requirement arises frequently in the design of bridges (filtered, buffered, repeaters) between networks, operating at the data link layer so as to be transparent to various higher-level protocols. The paper explains how the algorithm functions and how it can be implemented in hardware, operating in real time as the address bits arrive. Several specific applications are discussed.
What Role could Organoids Play in the Personalization of Cancer Treatment? (2015)

Cancer treatments are increasingly being targeted to specific patient populations based on the molecular and genetic features of their tumor, so called precision or personalized cancer medicine. Preclinical cancer models are essential tools for cancer research, but unfortunately our current models often fail to effectively represent patient tumors and can be poorly predictive of clinical responses. In this perspective, we discuss the use of new in vitro 3D cell models called 'organoids' as preclinical cancer models in the context of other commonly used models, namely cancer cell lines and patient-derived xenografts. We consider the relative strengths and limitations of each model, and discuss how organoid culture models could facilitate the personalization of cancer medicine.
Low levels of CC16 in nasal fluid of children with birch pollen‐induced rhinitis (2005)

Nasal fluid CC16 levels were lower in children with birch pollen-induced allergic rhinitis than in healthy controls both before and during the pollen season. We speculate that reduction in anti-inflammatory activity by CC16 may contribute to the pathogenesis of allergic rhinitis.
Compost and pollination (2003)

Translation is a mystery, ambiguously both service and craft. We put our faith in it, as we put our faith in diplomacy. While translators go about their work with invisible care, discussion of translation highlights the risks. Jokes about translation gone wrong plug the odd spots of newspapers and magazines. After Babel, we readily believe that all translation is mistranslation, at best a sign of damaged communication between human beings. A gulf opens between translation in practice and in theory.

Computer-Controlled Electric Drive Train Test Facility (1982)

<div class="htmlview paragraph">This paper describes the design and operation of a computer controlled road load simulator for the development of electric vehicle drive trains. Past experience has shown that it is difficult for a driver to execute a driving schedule exactly, cycle after cycle, day after day. Prevailing atmospheric conditions affect battery capacity, vehicle drag, and even motor efficiency. It is not reasonable to make judgments about vehicle range when day-to-day variability in testing conditions can cause range performance differences on the same order of magnitude as those noted between different drive systems. These were the reasons for development of the road load simulator.</div> <div class="htmlview paragraph">The system consists of a DC dynamometer, digital mini-computer, torque and speed transducers, and any electric vehicle drive train. Complete power trains consisting of batteries, motor, choke, controller and chopper can be tested under controlled and repeatable test conditions for simulated vehicles. This can be done not only at steady speeds, but under actual driving cycles (such as EPA Urban or SAE J227a) with the computer acting as the driver.</div>
Bridging Collaborative Filtering and Semi-Supervised Learning (2017)

Recommender system is one of the most popular data mining topics that keep drawing extensive attention from both academia and industry. Among them, POI (point of interest) recommendation is extremely practical but challenging: it greatly benefits both users and businesses in real-world life, but it is hard due to data scarcity and various context. While a number of algorithms attempt to tackle the problem w.r.t. specific data and problem settings, they often fail when the scenarios change. In this work, we propose to devise a general and principled SSL (semi-supervised learning) framework, to alleviate data scarcity via smoothing among neighboring users and POIs, and treat various context by regularizing user preference based on context graphs. To enable such a framework, we develop PACE (Preference And Context Embedding), a deep neural architecture that jointly learns the embeddings of users and POIs to predict both user preference over POIs and various context associated with users and POIs. We show that PACE successfully bridges CF (collaborative filtering) and SSL by generalizing the de facto methods matrix factorization of CF and graph Laplacian regularization of SSL. Extensive experiments on two real location-based social network datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of PACE.
Melt Point of Encapsulated Sodium Bicarbonates: Effect on Refrigerated Batter and Muffins Baked in Conventionai and Microwave Ovens (1993)

ABSTRACT Refrigerated muffin batter containing encapsulated sodium bicarbonates (ESB) differing in encapsulate melt points (EMP) and muffins baked from the batters in conventional and microwave ovens were evaluated, Muffin batter was prepared with ESB of 3 EMP (43, 52 and 60°C) and tested after 1 day (0 wk) and 1, 2, 3, and 4 wk. Batter pH increased from 0 wk to 1 wk. Specific volumes of microwave‐baked muffins containing EMP 43 or 60°C increased with storage and were highest; the EMP 52°C microwave‐baked muffins had the lowest specific volumes. Conventionally baked muffins were darker than microwave‐baked muffini. Panelists evaluated microwave‐baked muffins as flatter than conventionally baked muffins.
Master thesis : Real-Time Voice Cloning (2019)

Authors: Jemine, Corentin Promotors/Advisors: Louppe, Gilles Committee's members: Geurts, Pierre, Fonteneau, Raphaël Abstract: Recent advances in deep learning have shown impressive results in the domain of text-to-speech. To this end, a deep neural network is usually trained using a corpus of several hours of professionally recorded speech from a single speaker. Giving a new voice to such a model is highly expensive, as it requires recording a new dataset and retraining the model. A recent research introduced a three-stage pipeline that allows to clone a voice unseen during training from only a few seconds of reference speech, and without retraining the model. The authors share remarkably natural-sounding results, but provide no implementation. We reproduce this framework and open-source the first public implementation of it. We adapt the framework with a newer vocoder model, so as to make it run in real-time.
