DYNAMIC PROGRAMMING APPROACH TO OPTIMAL INVENTORY PROCESSES WITH DELAY IN DELIVERY, (1957)

The usual dynamic programming approach to inventory processes with delays in delivery leads to functions of many variables. This multi-dimensionality prevents the straightforward utilization of digital computers. Using a type of transformation previously applied in the study of engineering control processes, it is shown that a class of inventory processes with time lags can be treated in terms of sequences of functions of one variable, regardless of the length of the delay.

Antimicrobial and genotoxic activities of N-substituted 2,2'-dicarboxamidodiphenyldisulfides. (1992)

This paper describes the in vitro evaluation of antibacterial, antifungal and genotoxic activities of a series of 2,2'-dicarboxamidodiphenyldisulfides. All the studied compounds exhibited antibacterial activity against Bacillus subtilis. Most compounds were also active against Staphylococcus aureus. Several compounds were active against Saccharomyces cerevisiae and, in most cases, also against Candida tropicalis. No effects were observed against Escherichia coli or Aspergillus niger. Antimicrobial activity turned out to be affected by the substituent in the benzene ring and structure-activity relationships were found. The antibacterial and antifungal activities of the studied derivatives were compared with those of the corresponding 1,2-benzisothiazolin-3-ones and in some cases strong differences were observed. None of the tested compounds contained alerting groups or showed genotoxic properties.
Double Layer of Au(100)/Ionic Liquid Interface and Its Stability in Imidazolium‐Based Ionic Liquids (2009)

Ring any bells? The differential capacitance curve of Au(100) in neat [BMI]BF(4) (BMI = 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium) ionic liquid has a bell-shaped feature (see picture). The adsorption of BMI(+) shows a disorder-order transition and depends on the structure of the surface. Ordered adsorption in a micelle-like structure stabilizes the underlying Au surface.
Quantitative Measurement of the Growth of Pleuropneumonia-like Organisms (1956)

Accurate and reliable methods for the quantitative measurement of the growth of pleuropneumonia-like organisms have never been developed.Studies on members of this group of organisms have advanced in recent years to the stage at which further developments will be impeded by the lack of such methods.Generally techniques employed for rapid quantita- tion of bacterial growth, such as turbidity, packed cell volume, and dry weight, are unsuitable because of the small size and low cellular protein yields of these organisms.Estimations of the relative growth on solid media recorded as 4+, 3+, and so forth, or comparison of the relative amount of growth on a test plate with that on a control plate in which "optimal" growth occurred have been employed most frequently in the past.Holmes and Pirie (1932) attempted to relate the amount of growth with reduction time of methylene blue in the presence of lactate, and thereby construct a growth curve for the bovine pleuropneumonia or- ganisms.Keller and Morton (1954) depicted the futility of turbidimetric measurement of whole culture in constructing growth curves for human strains.These workers successfully estimated growth by the method of least probable numbers and by calculation of the numbers of organisms from average colony counts of
It's not recruitment—gasp! It's softness imperception (2003)

In Brief It's long been accepted that hearing-impaired people experience abnormally rapid loudness growth, i.e., recruitment. However, the author says, the accepted wisdom was based on a misinterpretation of the data and she explains what the data really show.
Extended DFT +<i>U</i>+<i>V</i>method with on-site and inter-site electronic interactions (2010)

In this paper we introduce a generalization of the popular DFT + U method based on the extended Hubbard model that includes on-site and inter-site electronic interactions. The novel corrective Hamiltonian is designed to study systems for which electrons are not completely localized on atomic states (according to the general scheme of Mott localization) and hybridization between orbitals from different sites plays an important role. The application of the extended functional to archetypal Mott-charge-transfer (NiO) and covalently bonded insulators (Si and GaAs) demonstrates its accuracy and versatility and the possibility to obtain a unifying and equally accurate description for a broad range of very diverse systems.
Near Real-Time Reliable Stereo Matching Using Programmable Graphics Hardware (2005)

A near-real-time stereo matching technique is presented in this paper, which is based on the reliability-based dynamic programming algorithm we proposed earlier. The new algorithm can generate semi-dense disparity maps using only two dynamic programming passes, while our previous approach requires 20-30 passes. We also implement the algorithm on programmable graphics hardware, which further improves the processing speed. The experiments on the four Middlebury stereo datasets show that the new algorithm can produce dense (>85% of the pixels) and reliable (error rate <0.3%) matches in near real-time (0.05-0.1 sec). If needed, it can also be used to generate dense disparity maps. Based on the evaluation conducted by the Middlebury Stereo Vision Research Website, the new algorithm is ranked between the variable window and the graph cuts approaches and currently is the most accurate dynamic programming based technique. When more than one reference images are available, the accuracy can be further improved with little extra computation time.

SEQUENTIAL ANTILYMPHOBLAST GLOBULIN AND CYCLOSPORINE FOR RENAL TRANSPLANTATION (1987)

The nephrotoxic effects of cyclosporine (CsA) seem to be augmented by co-existing renal injury. A high rate of prolonged delayed function (acute tubular necrosis [ATN]) and non-function (NF) has been associated with the use of CsA prior to and following renal transplantation. Cyclosporine has also been associated with a slower recovery of allograft function and poor baseline renal function even in allografts that function immediately compared with conventionally treated recipients. In 1983 we hypothesized that the rate of ATN and NF following renal transplantation could be decreased and more normal kidney function achieved if renal injury was resolved before adding the nephrotoxic effects of CsA. A group of 300 nonsplenectomized, uremic recipients have received 304 renal transplants and have been initially immunosuppressed with azathioprine, prednisone, and Minnesota antilymphoblast globulin (ALG) prior to starting maintenance CsA and prednisone. The incidence of NF has been 1.9% and the development of ATN has been 7.6% following transplantation with sequential use of ALG and CsA. Other benefits to the renal recipient have also occurred with use of this immunotherapy protocol. Renal allograft survival for recipients of first, second, and third renal allografts has been higher than that generally reported with cyclosporine and prednisone alone. Rejection episodes have been infrequent during the first six months posttransplant, as 75% and 62% of first and second renal allograft recipients have remained rejection-free. Clinically significant infectious complications were infrequent. No cadaver recipient has developed a lymphoma. Moreover, the initial hospitalization following transplantation with sequential ALG/CsA has been short and generally uncomplicated. We conclude that sequential ALG/CsA following renal transplantation provides excellent early posttransplant immunosuppression while avoiding the nephrotoxic effects of CsA and also provides the steroid and infection-sparing benefits derived from maintenance CsA therapy.

A New Hybrid Approach for Augmented Reality Maintenance in Scientific Facilities (2013)

Maintenance in scientific facilities is a difficult issue, especially in large and hazardous facilities, due to the complexity of tasks and equipment. Augmented reality is a technology that has already shown great promise in the maintenance field. With the help of augmented reality applications, maintenance tasks can be carried out faster and more safely. The problem with current applications is that they are small-scale prototypes that do not easily scale to large facility maintenance applications. This paper presents a new hybrid approach that enables the creation of augmented reality maintenance applications for large and hazardous scientific facilities. In this paper, a new augmented reality marker and the algorithm for its recognition is proposed. The performance of the algorithm is verified in three test cases, showing promising results in two of them. Improvements in robustness in the third test case in which the camera is moving quickly or when light conditions are extreme are subject to further studies. The proposed new approach will be integrated into an existing augmented reality maintenance system.
Towards ABox Modularization of semi-expressive Description Logics (2012)

Optical coherence tomography angiography of stimulus evoked hemodynamic responses in individual retinal layers (2016)

Blood flow changes are highly related to neural activities in the retina. It has been reported that neural activity increases when flickering light stimulation of the retina is used. It is known that blood flow changes with flickering light stimulation can be altered in patients with vascular disease and that measurement of flicker-induced vasodilatation is an easily applied tool for monitoring functional microvascular alterations. However, details of distortions in retinal neurovascular coupling associated with major eye diseases are not well understood due to the limitation of existing techniques. In this study, flickering light stimulation was applied to mouse retinas to investigate stimulus evoked hemodynamic responses in individual retinal layers. A spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) angiography imaging system was developed to provide dynamic mapping of hemodynamic responses in the ganglion cell layer, inner plexiform layer, outer plexiform layer and choroid layer before, during and after flickering light stimulation. Experimental results showed hemodynamic responses with different magnitudes and time courses in individual retinal layers. We anticipate that the dynamic OCT angiography of stimulus evoked hemodynamic responses can greatly foster the study of neurovascular coupling mechanisms in the retina, promising new biomarkers for retinal disease detection and diagnosis.
Problemstellung und Zielsetzung (1992)

Medien, Massenmedien — Thema unserer Zeit, Problem unserer Zeit, Faszination unserer Zeit. Noch nie zuvor war Kommunikation, Medien, Massenkommunikation so sehr Thema in der persönlichen Kommunikation, Thema wissenschaftlicher Forschung, Thema der Medien selbst. Dabei hat es immer Kommunikation über ‘Medien’ gegeben — und prinzipiell auch über Massen-Medien (nur waren die ‘Massen’ früher kleiner als heute und die Massenmedien besaßen nicht diese Allgegenwart, die sie in unseren Tagen auszeichnet). Kommunikation bedarf eines ‘Mediums’, des Mediums ‘Sprache’ im einfachsten Falle, und sie nutzt die Erweiterung durch vielfältige Verbreitung über zahlreiche technische ‘Medien’. Das Zusammenleben in kleinen und großen Gruppen, seien es Familien, Stämme, dörfliche Gemeinschaften oder ganze Nationen, schafft das Bedürfnis und die Notwendigkeit zu effektiver Kommunikation: Nachrichten müssen verbreitet werden, es gilt Werte und Normen zu ‘publizieren’, vor Gefahren zu warnen, Erfreuliches zu verkünden — der gesellschaftliche Konsens lebt von Kommunikation (und umgekehrt). Diese kommunikativen Aufgaben führten schon früh zu der Erfordernis, daß ‘Medien’ geschaffen werden mußten, die schnell und effektiv einem großen Kreis von Rezipienten eine Botschaft übermitteln konnten.
A Systematic Approach to Generate Inputs to Test UML Design Models (2006)

Practical model validation techniques are needed for model driven development (MDD) techniques to succeed. This paper presents an approach to generating inputs to test UML design models that are produced in the detailed design phase of an MDD project. A symbolic execution based approach is used to derive test input constraints from the paths of a variable assignment graph, which integrates information from UML class and sequence diagrams. The constraints are solved using Alloy, a configuration constraint solver, to obtain the test inputs. The results of a pilot study carried out to explore the fault detection capability of the test inputs are reported
Chemistry and electrochemistry of molybdenum plating from molten salts (1986)

This paper is concerned with the synergism between solution chemistry and the electrode chemistry in electroplating molybdenum. Before presenting the results from some basic studies, this specific area of materials processing is placed in the context of electrolytic methods of materials fabrication for use in corrosive environments at elevated temperatures and high potentials. EIC has ongoing programs which are concerned with the development of electroplating refractory metals, in particular these in VIA, chromium, molybdenum, and tungsten from electrolyte operating below 500 C. These metals are of particular interest in view of their high melting points, hardness, and corrosion resistance, particularly at higher temperatures in oxygen-free, or reducing environments and/or at high potentials which make them strong candidates as construction materials in new technologies. The ability to electroplate and electroform these metals and their alloys is an important aspect of their successful application for corrosion and corrosion protection. Electroplating of metals from molten salts has been less successful because the process requires a coherent deposit of metal with specified properties. This has restricted applications to aluminum and some transition metals. Electrolyte baths based upon molten alkali fluoride as solvent have been employed successfully with refractory metals. The mean valencies of themore » refractory metals ions in solution, their reduction pathway and the temperatures at which the processes would need to be operated are summarized.« less
Curious model-building control systems (1991)

A novel curious model-building control system is described which actively tries to provoke situations for which it learned to expect to learn something about the environment. Such a system has been implemented as a four-network system based on Watkins' Q-learning algorithm which can be used to maximize the expectation of the temporal derivative of the adaptive assumed reliability of future predictions. An experiment with an artificial nondeterministic environment demonstrates that the system can be superior to previous model-building control systems, which do not address the problem of modeling the reliability of the world model's predictions in uncertain environments and use ad-hoc methods (like random search) to train the world model.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
A folded bit-line architecture for high speed CMOS SRAM (2003)

This paper describes a new architecture and schemes for a high speed SRAM. It is summarized as follows:1) a Folded Bit-Line Architecture (FBLA) to reduce the delay time of bit-line by decreasing the parastic capacitance, to reduce the area. 2) a Double Word-Line Activation (DWLA) technique to increase the data-rate twice and minimize row path delay, and 3) a high speed sensing scheme to decrease the delay time of the sense amplifier. To verify the above, a 8 kb SRAM was designed using 0.6 /spl mu/m CMOS technology. It realized a 600 Mbyte/s(300 M/spl times/8/spl times/2) data-rate and the die size is 2.8 mm/spl times/0.85 mm.
Data Analysis Techniques for Resolving Nonlinear Processes in Plasmas : a Review (1996)

The emphasis is put on the investigation of nonlinear wave phenomena and turbulence in space plasmas.
The role of methyl jasmonate in mango ripening and biosynthesis of aroma volatile compounds (2003)

SummaryTo study the role of methyl jasmonate in mango fruit ripening and biosynthesis of aroma volatiles, one lot of green mature preclimacteric 'Kensington Pride' mangoes was ripened under ambient conditions (21 ± 1°C). The changes in endogenous levels of methyl jasmonate in the pulp during ripening were investigated. Another lot of green mature preclimacteric fruit was treated with methyl jasmonate vapour at different concentrations (0, 10–3M, 10–4M and 10–5M) for 12 h to study the role of methyl jasmonate on biosynthesis of aroma volatile compounds in the fruit. Following methyl jasmonate treatments, the fruit were then allowed to ripen under ambient conditions (21 ± 1°C). Only trans-methyl jasmonate was identified from the pulp of 'Kensington Pride' mango. Concentration of trans-methyl jasmonate in the pulp was higher at harvest day (123.67 ng g–1) and decreased as the ripening progressed at the ripe stage (0.14 ng g–1). Methyl jasmonate treatments increased ethylene production at the climacteric stage and was more pronounced at a higher concentration (10–3M) of applied methyl jasmonate. Skin colour of ripe fruit was significantly improved with exogenous application of methyl jasmonate (10–3M). Methyl jasmonate treatments also increased the concentration of fatty acids as well as total aroma volatiles, monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, aromatics, norisoprenoid, alcohols and esters in the pulp of fruit. However, exogenous application of methyl jasmonate tended to reduce production of n-tetradecane, especially on day 5 and 7 of ripening. In general, exogenous application of methyl jasmonate (10–3M) significantly promoted biosynthesis of ethylene, fatty acids and ripening and aroma volatile compounds during fruit ripening. Our experimental results suggest that methyl jasmonte is involved in early steps in the modulation of mango fruit ripening.
Heat shock protein 72 : release and biological significance during exercise (2007)

The cumulative stressors of exercise manifest themselves at a cellular level by threatening the protein homeostasis of the cell. In these conditions, Heat Shock Proteins (HSP) are synthesised to chaperone mis-folded and denatured proteins. As such, the intracellular HSP response is thought to aid cell survival in the face of otherwise lethal cellular stress. Recently, the inducible isoform of the 70 Kda heat shock protein family, Hsp72 has been detected in the extracellular environment. Furthermore, the release of this protein into the circulation has been shown to occur in response to a range of exercise bouts. The present review summarises the current research on the exercise Hsp72 response, the possible mediators and mechanisms of extracellular (e)Hsp72 release, and the possible biological significance of this systemic response. In particular, the possible role of eHsp72 in the modulation of immunity during exercise is discussed.
Characterization of the human ribonucleotide reductase M2 subunit gene; genomic structure and promoter analyses (2001)

Ribonucleotide Reductase (RR) is a rate-limiting enzyme in DNA synthesis and repair consisting of two subunits, M1 and M2. RRM2 plays a role in cell proliferation, tumorgenicity, metastasis and drug resistance. To better understand the regulation of RRM2, we have sequenced the entire human RRM2 gene. Approximately 10.3 kb of genomic DNA was sequenced and deposited to GenBank (accession number AY032750). Intron/exon junctions were identified and the gene was found to consist of ten exons. Two transcription initiation sites were identified and correspond to mRNA transcripts of 3.4 kb and 1.65 kb. Deletion analysis of the 5'-flanking region showed that there was promoter activity consistent with the presence of two separate promoters driving expression of the two RRM2 transcripts. A thorough analysis of the genomic sequence and promoter regions of the RRM2 gene will provide insight into the processes involved in tumor transformation and drug resistance.
