Automated Composition in Retrospect: 1956-1986 (1987)

This article chronicles computer programs for automated musical composition over the last 30 years, providing musical examples from 11 computer-composed works. The author begins by focusing on early American efforts to impose stylistic controls through random sampling and testing, then describes European statistical approaches used until 1970. The rise of 'interactive' compositional utilities during the 1970s is linked to the growing proliferation of on-line computers. The current decade has been a period of eclectic interests: the resurgence of statistical procedures, the introduction of 'top-down' recursive grammars, the adaptation of problem-solving techniques from Artificial Intelligence and the continuation of interactive efforts.
Introduction (1999)

This collection of essays examines the role of the state in regulating sexual morality at the turn of the century in France, England, and the British Empire (India and Canada). It focuses on trials, both wellknown and obscure, and explores in detail how the disputes were played out in the courtrooms and newspapers of the time. While the cases range from murder investigations to divorce suits to charges of public indecency, all are rooted in differing ideologies of gender and sexuality and are inflected by the cultural and class-specific particularities of their participants. The conflicts documented and analyzed in this collection are symptomatic of changing definitions of gender roles, sexual propriety, and deviance. They shed light on often unexpressed fundamental assumptions of the criminal justice system regarding gender, and thus provide a snapshot of critical moments of social contestation during the era that witnessed the emergence of the New Woman, the New Man, and the Third Sex as social constructs.
Solution Structure of the HsapBK K<sup>+</sup> Channel Voltage-Sensor Paddle Sequence<sup>,</sup> (2009)

Voltage-gated potassium channels open and close in response to changes in the membrane potential. In this study, we have determined the NMR solution structure of the putative S3b-S4 voltage-sensor paddle fragment, the part that moves to mediate voltage gating, of the HsapBK potassium channel in dodecylphosphocholine (DPC) micelles. This paper presents the first structure of the S3b-S4 fragment from a BK channel. Diffusion coefficients as determined from PFG NMR experiments showed that a well-defined complex between the peptide and DPC molecules was formed. The structure reveals a helix-turn-helix motif, which is in agreement with crystal structures of other voltage-gated potassium channels, thus indicating that it is feasible to study the isolated fragment. The paddle motifs generally contain several basic residues, implicated in the gating. The critical Arg residues in this structure all reside on the surface, which is in agreement with crystal structures of K(v) channels. Similarities in the structure of the S3b-S4 fragment in BK and K(v) channels as well as important differences are seen, which may be important for explaining the details in paddle movement within a bilayer.
Mc2FOR: A tool for automatically translating MATLAB to FORTRAN 95 (2014)

MATLAB is a dynamic numerical scripting language widely used by scientists, engineers and students. While MATLAB's high-level syntax and dynamic types make it ideal for prototyping, programmers often prefer using high-performance static languages such as FORTRAN for their final distributable code. Rather than rewriting the code by hand, our solution is to provide a tool that automatically translates the original MATLAB program to an equivalent FORTRAN program. There are several important challenges for automatically translating MATLAB to FORTRAN, such as correctly estimating the static type characteristics of all the variables in a MATLAB program, mapping MATLAB built-in functions, and effectively mapping MATLAB constructs to equivalent FORTRAN constructs. In this paper, we introduce Mc2FOR, a tool which automatically translates MATLAB to FORTRAN. This tool consists of two major parts. The first part is an interprocedural analysis component to estimate the static type characteristics, such as the shape of arrays and the range of scalars, which are used to generate variable declarations and to remove unnecessary array bounds checking in the translated FORTRAN program. The second part is an extensible FORTRAN code generation framework automatically transforming MATLAB constructs to FORTRAN. This work has been implemented within the McLab framework, and we demonstrate the performance of the translated FORTRAN code on a collection of MATLAB benchmarks.
The planning of marketing strategies in consumer credit: an approach based on graphical chain models for ordinal variables (2001)

Abstract This paper explores the potential of graphical chain models in defining marketing strategies in the consumer credit field. When ordinal variables are involved, the potential can be increased by exploiting the ordinal scale of variables. In the presented research, the effectiveness of ordinal methods is analysed in three important activities for building a score-card: (1) in coarse classifying of variables, (2) in model selection and (3) in measuring the prediction accuracy of the model.
Research and implementation of multi-network adapter bonding technology based on multi-core processor (2012)

Considering of the current IP-SAN network link performance bottlenecks and single points of failure, we studied the existing Linux bonding technology. Multi-network Adapter Bonding Technology can improve the speed of access to IP-SAN, and can reduce the link failure caused by a single point of failure. We introduced the existing Linux bonding technology in this paper, proposed and implemented a Multinetwork Adapter Bonding method based on multi-core processors. To evaluate performance of this method, We used Embedded Server based on multi-core processors to do the test, the performance of Linux bonding technology is used as a contrast. According to the test results, the multi-network adapter bonding method which we proposed in this paper, can significantly increase the embedded server to access the IPSAN speed and flexibility <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">1</sup> .

Therapeutic Use of Phospholipids in Thrombocytopenic or Thrombocytopathic Patients (1995)

Eight thrombocytopenic/pathic patients received an intravenous infusion of phospholipids. In vitro bleeding test (Thrombostat 4000), thrombelastography, and resonance thrombography were performed in order to show the hemostatic effect. In none of the cases did phospholipids exert an effect comparable to platelet transfusion. Two patients, brother and sister, had a severe anaphylactoid reaction after the administration of phospholipids.
Metal Contaminants in Commercial Thiazine Dyes (1975)

The iron, potassium, sodium and zinc content of commercial samples of the thiazine dyes azure A (C.I. 52005), azure B (C.I. 52010), azure C (C.I. 52002), methylene blue (C.I. 52015), new methylene blue (C.I. 52030), polychrome methylene blue, thionine (C.I. 52000) and toluidine blue (C.I. 52040) have been determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The metal concentration varied widely in the 38 samples examined--iron, potassium, sodium and zinc together comprised between 0.02% and 25.35% of individual samples.
Age-based cooperative caching in Information-Centric Networks (2012)

Information-Centric Networking (ICN) provides substantial flexibility for users to obtain information. One of the most important commonalities of ICN designs is the universal caching. It is widely accepted that the in-network caching would improve performance. However, there has been no consensus on how to design an efficient caching scheme in ICN network. In this paper we propose an age-based cooperative cache scheme aiming at reducing network delay and publisher load for ICN network. We focus on light-weight collaboration mechanisms that spread popular contents to the network edge while at the same time fully utilize the storage capacity of intermediate nodes. We evaluate the effectiveness of our scheme under real traces and realistic network topology. The results indicate that our scheme achieves significant performance gains.
PATHOLOGIC AND BEHAVIORAL CHANGES IN MICE FOLLOWING CNS DEUTERON IRRADIATION (1962)

From introduction: "The specific aims of this study were the following: (1) To produce radiogenic lesions by 1 mm deuteron beams at a dose of 8,000 rads directed unilaterally and bilaterally to the parietal areas and unilaterally to the cerebellum, and by two 9 x 0.025 mm microbeams, 0.5 mm apart, applied across the neocerebellar cortex at 72,000 rads; and (2) to relate these histopathologically demonstrable alterations to possible behavioral changes following irradiation. Since these radiogenic lesions may produce some selective functional alterations in sensory, associative, and motor processes, it was deemed essential to utilize a variety of behavioral screening tests. These tests included (a) the open field test based upon exploratory behavior; (b) spontaneous locomotor activity in activity wheels, and (c) stress reactivity under shock motivated escape-avoidance conditions.
Intestinal absorption of sucrose in man: interrelation of hydrolysis and monosaccharide product absorption. (1966)

Disaccharides are hydrolyzed by their specific enzymes present in the intestinal mucosa (1-3). Although some current textbooks still state that these enzymes are secreted into the intestinal lu- men (4-7), the concentrations of monosaccharide products free in intestinal contents during disac- charide absorption in vitro (8-10) have been found insufficient to support the concept of intraluminal hydrolysis. In addition, the low disaccharidase activity of intestinal contents during the absorp- tion process in vivo (11-13) strongly suggests that the disaccharide either enters the cell before being hydrolyzed or else is hydrolyzed at the cell surface by mucosa-bound enzyme. The released monosaccharide products presumedly are then transported across the intestinal cell (8, 14, 15).
A Small Fission Power System with Stirling Power Conversion for NASA Science Missions (2011)

In early 2010, a joint National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and Department of Energy (DOE) study team developed a concept for a 1 kWe Fission Power System with a 15-year design life that could be available for a 2020 launch to support future NASA science missions. The baseline concept included a solid block uranium-molybdenum reactor core with embedded heat pipes and distributed thermoelectric converters directly coupled to aluminum radiator fins. A short follow-on study was conducted at NASA Glenn Research Center (GRC) to evaluate an alternative power conversion approach. The GRC study considered the use of free-piston Stirling power conversion as a substitution to the thermoelectric converters. The resulting concept enables a power increase to 3 kWe with the same reactor design and scalability to 10 kW without changing the reactor technology. This paper presents the configuration layout, system performance, mass summary, and heat transfer analysis resulting from the study.
Basic Wet-Etching Solutions for Ge[sub 2]Sb[sub 2]Te[sub 5] Phase Change Material (2010)

We report on basic wet-etching solutions for (GST) phase change material. A scanning electronic microscope was used to observe the surface morphology and measure the etching rate. On the basis of the etching results, it was found that the aqueous solutions of 10 vol % plus 25 wt % bases, such as KOH, , and tetramethylammonium hydroxide, resulted in lower etching rates but a much smoother surface than that of common acid solutions. In addition, the etching process could be well controlled. Further X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy study of the etched samples showed that GST, etched by KOH, possessed higher oxidized states than that by , which revealed that the etching process was milder in basic solutions, while the dissolution of GST was more favored in acid environments due to the protonation effect.
Electroluminescence in Al-Al2O3-Au diodes (1975)

Thin-film diodes composed of Al-Al2O3-Au films can be made to emit light under applied voltages. The spectral intensity of the electroluminescence was measured in the wavelength range 2000–6000 Å for different diode voltages. In this spectral range, the intensity was found to decrease nearly exponentially with increasing photon energy for a given voltage. The results also indicate that as the intensity of the short-wavelength emission is enhanced with increasing diode voltage above approximately 4 V, there is a corresponding decrease in intensity in the long-wavelength region. An attempt is made to explain the results in terms of a band model of the oxide.
Optimal Design of an Axial-Flux Permanent-Magnet Motor for an Electric Vehicle Based on Driving Scenarios (2016)

This paper proposes a driving-scenario oriented optimal design of an axial-flux permanent-magnet (AFPM) motor for an electric vehicle. The target torque and speed (TN) curve is defined as three operation zones-constant torque, maximum direct current, and maximum voltage—based on the driving scenario. The AFPM motor is designed to minimize energy consumption based on the motor weight and the frequent operating points of a driving cycle. The final result shows that the electric vehicle driven by the proposed AFPM motor consumes about 15% less energy than motors designed using traditional methods.
Fluorescent chiral derivatization reagents for carboxylic acid enantiomers in high-performance liquid chromatography (1992)

Six chiral derivatization reagents, viz., (+)-4-(N,N-dimethylaminosulfonyl)-7-(3-aminopyrrolidin-1-yl)-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (D-DBD-APy), (–)-4-(N,N-dimethylaminosulfonyl)-7-(3-aminopyrrolidin-1-yl)-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (L-DBD-APy), (+)-4-nitro-7-(3-aminopyrrolidin-1-yl)-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (D-NBD-APy), (–)-4-nitro-7-(3-aminopyrrolidin-1-yl)-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (L-NBD-APy), (+)-4-(aminosulfonyl)-7-(3-aminopyrrolidin-1-yl)-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (D-ABD-APy) and (–)-4-(aminosulfonyl)-7-(3-aminopyrrolidin-1-yl)-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (L-ABD-APy), have been synthesized to permit separation of carboxylic acid enantiomers by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The reagents react with carboxylic acids at room temperature in the presence of activation agents (2,2′-dipyridyl disulfide and triphenylphosphine). The maximum emission wavelengths of the diastereomeric amide derivatives formed from D-naproxen (Nap) with D-DBD-APy, D-ABD-APy and D-NBD-APy were approximately 580 nm (excitation at 470 nm), 585 nm (excitation at 470 nm) and 540 nm (excitation at 470 nm), respectively. The emission wavelengths of the derivatives shifted towards the blue, and the fluorescence intensities increased with increasing acetonitrile concentration in the medium. The fluorescence intensities of three derivatives at pH 2–11 were higher in neutral than in acidic and alkaline solutions. The diastereomers derived from anti-inflammatory drugs and N-acetylamino acids were efficiently resolved by a reversed-phase column (5 µ Inertsil ODS-2) with a water-acetonitrile mixture as mobile phase. The detection limits (S/N = 2) of DBD-APy-Nap, NBD-APy-Nap and ABD-APy-Nap on HPLC chromatograms were 10, 15 and 30 fmol, respectively.

Electrochromic Properties of Polyaniline-Based Hybrid Organic/Inorganic Materials (2016)

Hybrid materials based on polyaniline (PAni) were obtained by in situ polymerization of aniline with chitosan and/or organically modified clay (nanomer I-24) in HCl. The samples were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and direct current (DC) electrical conductivity. Thin films of PAni, PAni-clay, PAni-chitosan and PAni-chitosan-clay were prepared by casting a solution of each sample in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) onto indium tin oxide (ITO)/glass electrodes and their electrochromic properties were investigated. It was observed color variation from transparent yellow in the reduced state (E = -0.2 V vs. Ag/AgCl), green in the intermediate state (E = 0.5 V) and dark blue in the oxidized state (E = 0.8 V) for all samples. The color changes of each material in function of the applied potential were tracked using the Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage (CIE) system of colorimetry, in which the color change was much more significant for PAni-clay film.
Millimeter wave antennas (1992)

Major advances in millimeter-wave antennas have been made in recent years, in particular in two areas. A new class of leaky-wave antennas based on open millimeter waveguides has been proposed and investigated, and substantial progress has been achieved in integrated antennas where active and passive circuits, possibly in monolithic form, are combined with the radiating elements in one compact unit. Interesting developments have taken place also in a third group of millimeter-wave antennas, that of microstrip antennas and printed circuit antennas in general. An attempt is made to summarize these developments.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
A data-centric profiler for parallel programs (2013)

It is difficult to manually identify opportunities for enhancing data locality. To address this problem, we extended the HPCToolkit performance tools to support data-centric profiling of scalable parallel programs. Our tool uses hardware counters to directly measure memory access latency and attributes latency metrics to both variables and instructions. Different hardware counters provide insight into different aspects of data locality (or lack thereof). Unlike prior tools for data-centric analysis, our tool employs scalable measurement, analysis, and presentation methods that enable it to analyze the memory access behavior of scalable parallel programs with low runtime and space overhead. We demonstrate the utility of HPCToolkit's new data-centric analysis capabilities with case studies of five well-known benchmarks. In each benchmark, we identify performance bottlenecks caused by poor data locality and demonstrate non-trivial performance optimizations enabled by this guidance.
[Determination of chemical components in tobacco leaves by FT-NIR spectroscopy: study of influence of spectral ranges on PLS modeling]. (2004)

NIR spectra of tobacco leaves were measured in the range of 12000 to 4000 cm(-1) using a Bruker MPA FT-NIR spectrometer. PLS calibration models were developed and optimized for rapid quantitative analysis of nicotine alkaloids, total sugar and total nitrogen contents in tobacco leaves. It was found that the prediction errors of the same component were significantly different when different spectral regions were used for PLS modeling, and the best spectral range is also different for each component. The study demonstrated that wavelength range selection is one of the important keys to optimizing the NIR calibration model. In this study it was found that the optimized calibration ranges for nicotine alkaloids, total sugar and total nitrogen are 9500-4231.2 cm(-1), 7502.1-4246.7 cm(-1) and 7502.1-4597.7 cm(-1), respectively. The Root Mean Square Error of Cross Validation (RMSECV) of the three calibration models are 0.081 5, 0.808 and 0.056, respectively.
Synthetic studies on quinazoline derivatives. II. The reactions of 2-trichloro- and 2-trifluoroacetamidobenzophenones with primary amines. (1981)

The reaction of 5-chloro-2-trichloroacetamidobenzophenone (2a) with several primary alkylamines in DMSO gave high yields of 3-substituted 6-chloro-3, 4-dihydro-4-phenyl-4-trichloromethyl-2(1H)-quinazolinones 6, which were found to be formed by base-catalyzed and/or thermal cyclization and simultaneous rearrangement of the isomeric 5-chloro-2-trichloroacetamidobenzophenone alkylimines 5. Both compounds 5 and 6 were obtained when the reaction was effected in benzene. Treatment of the compound 2a with bulky amines such as isopropylamine and cyclohexylamine gave, under similar conditions, the corresponding benzophenone imines 5d and 5e exclusively, and these could be transformed into the quinazolinones 6d and 6e, respectively, on heating in pyridine or HMPT. The reaction of N-substituted trichloroacetamidobenzophenones 2m and 3n with N-(2-aminoethyl) morpholine as well as ammonia in DMSO yielded the 1-alkylaminobenzophenone imines 4m-o, which on treatment with trichloroacetyl chloride were readily cyclized to give the corresponding 1-substituted 4-trichloromethylquinazolinones 6m-o. The trichloromethyl group of the 1-unsubstituted quinazolinones 6 was easily displaced by a nucleophile such as hydride, alkoxide or hydroxide under base catalysis to give the 3, 4-dihydro-2 (1H)-quinazolinone derivative 9, 10 or 11 almost quantitatively, whereas the 1, 3-disubstituted quinazolinone 6o was not affected. The sodium borohydride reduction of the methylimine 5a at room temperature mainly afforded the trichloroacetamidobenzhydrylamine 8a, which underwent thermal cyclization to the quinazolinone 9a via split of chloroform. In contrast, the reaction of 5-chloro-2-trifluoroacetamidobenzophenone (2p) with some primary alkylamines in DMSO produced the trifluoroacetamidobenzophenone alkylimines 5p-r, which on treatment with sodium borohydride could be converted only to 3-substituted 6-chloro-3, 4-dihydro-4-phenyl-2-trifluoromethylquinazolines 15. These procedures were successfully utilized in syntheses of the imidazo [1, 2-c] quinazolinone 16, oxazolo [3, 2-c] quinazolinones 17t and 17v, and 1, 3-oxazino [3, 2-c] quinazolinone 17u.
Asymptotic Distribution of Coordinates on High Dimensional Spheres (2007)

The coordinates $x_i$ of a point $x = (x_1, x_2, \dots, x_n)$ chosen at random according to a uniform distribution on the $\ell_2(n)$-sphere of radius $n^{1/2}$ have approximately a normal distribution when $n$ is large. The coordinates $x_i$ of points uniformly distributed on the $\ell_1(n)$-sphere of radius $n$ have approximately a double exponential distribution. In these and all the $\ell_p(n),1 \le p \le \infty,$ convergence of the distribution of coordinates as the dimension $n$ increases is at the rate $\sqrt{n}$ and is described precisely in terms of weak convergence of a normalized empirical process to a limiting Gaussian process, the sum of a Brownian bridge and a simple normal process.
The WAM - Definition and Compiler Correctness. (1995)

: This paper provides a mathematical analysis of the Warren Abstract Machine for executing Prolog and a correctness proof for a general compilation scheme of Prolog for the WAM. Starting from an abstract Prolog model which is close to the programmer&apos;s intuition, we derive the WAM methodically by stepwise refinement of Prolog models, proving correctness and completeness for each refinement step. Along the way we explicitely formulate, as proof assumptions, a set of natural conditions for a compiler to be correct, thus making our proof applicable to a whole class of compilers. The proof method provides a rigorous mathematical framework for the study of Prolog compilation techniques. It can be applied in a natural way to extensions and variants of Prolog and related WAMs allowing for parallelism, constraint handling, types, functional components---in some cases it has in fact been successfully extended. Our exposition assumes only a general understanding of Prolog. We reach full mathemati...
