UnLimited TRAnsfers for Multi-Modal Route Planning: An Efficient Solution (2019)

We study a multi-modal route planning scenario consisting of a public transit network and a transfer graph representing a secondary transportation mode (e.g., walking or taxis). The objective is to compute all journeys that are Pareto-optimal with respect to arrival time and the number of required transfers. While various existing algorithms can efficiently compute optimal journeys in either a pure public transit network or a pure transfer graph, combining the two increases running times significantly. As a result, even walking between stops is typically limited by a maximal duration or distance, or by requiring the transfer graph to be transitively closed. To overcome these shortcomings, we propose a novel preprocessing technique called ULTRA (UnLimited TRAnsfers): Given a complete transfer graph (without any limitations, representing an arbitrary non-schedule-based mode of transportation), we compute a small number of transfer shortcuts that are provably sufficient for computing all Pareto-optimal journeys. We demonstrate the practicality of our approach by showing that these transfer shortcuts can be integrated into a variety of state-of-the-art public transit algorithms, establishing the ULTRA-Query algorithm family. Our extensive experimental evaluation shows that ULTRA is able to improve these algorithms from limited to unlimited transfers without sacrificing query speed, yielding the fastest known algorithms for multi-modal routing. This is true not just for walking, but also for other transfer modes such as cycling or driving.
Effect of Lactobacillus plantarum TWK10 on Exercise Physiological Adaptation, Performance, and Body Composition in Healthy Humans (2019)

Probiotics have been rapidly developed for health promotion, but clinical validation of the effects on exercise physiology has been limited. In a previous study, <i>Lactobacillus plantarum</i> TWK10 (TWK10), isolated from Taiwanese pickled cabbage as a probiotic, was demonstrated to improve exercise performance in an animal model. Thus, in the current study, we attempted to further validate the physiological function and benefits through clinical trials for the purpose of translational research. The study was designed as a double-blind placebo-controlled experiment. A total of 54 healthy participants (27 men and 27 women) aged 20-30 years without professional athletic training were enrolled and randomly allocated to the placebo, low (3 × 10<sup>10</sup> colony forming units (CFU)), and high dose (9 × 10<sup>10</sup> CFU) TWK10 administration groups (<i>n</i> = 18 per group, with equal sexes). The functional and physiological assessments were conducted by exhaustive treadmill exercise measurements (85% VO<sub>2max</sub>), and related biochemical indices were measured before and after six weeks of administration. Fatigue-associated indices, including lactic acid, blood ammonia, blood glucose, and creatinine kinase, were continuously monitored during 30 min of exercise and a 90 min rest period using fixed intensity exercise challenges (60% VO<sub>2max</sub>) to understand the physiological adaptation. The systemic inflammation and body compositions were also acquired and analyzed during the experimental process. The results showed that TWK10 significantly elevated the exercise performance in a dose-dependent manner and improved the fatigue-associated features correlated with better physiological adaptation. The change in body composition shifted in the healthy direction for TWK10 administration groups, especially for the high TWK10 dose group, which showed that body fat significantly decreased and muscle mass significantly increased. Taken together, our results suggest that TWK10 has the potential to be an ergogenic aid to improve aerobic endurance performance via physiological adaptation effects.
Contextual Subpixel Mapping of Hyperspectral Images Making Use of a High Resolution Color Image (2013)

This paper describes a hyperspectral image classification method to obtain classification maps at a finer resolution than the image's original resolution. We assume that a complementary color image of high spatial resolution is available. The proposed methodology consists of a soft classification procedure to obtain landcover fractions, followed by a subpixel mapping of these fractions. While the main contribution of this article is in fact the complete multisource framework for obtaining a subpixel map, the major novelty of this subpixel mapping approach is the inclusion of contextual information, obtained from the color image. Experiments, conducted on two hyperspectral images and one real multi source data set, show excellent results, when compared to classification of the hyperspectral data only. The advantage of the contextual approach, compared to conventional subpixel mapping approaches, is clearly demonstrated.
The Aging Males' Symptoms (AMS) scale: review of its methodological characteristics. (2003)

The currently available methodological evidence points towards a high quality of the AMS scale to measure and to compare HRQoL of aging males over time or before/after treatment, it suggests a high reliability and high validity as far as the process of construct validation could be pressed ahead yet. But certainly more data will become available, particularly from ongoing clinical studies.
Relative toxicity of venlafaxine and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors in overdose compared to tricyclic antidepressants (2003)

Venlafaxine and dothiepin are pro-convulsant in overdose. Venlafaxine is more likely to cause serotonin toxicity, but less likely to cause coma than TCAs. SSRIs are less likely to cause coma, require ICU admission, or prolong the QRS, but are more likely to cause serotonin toxicity. Antidepressants other than TCAs or venlafaxine should be considered in patients at risk of seizure or suicide.
Automatic Title Generation in Scientific Articles for Authorship Assistance: A Summarization Approach (2017)

This paper presents a studyon automatic title generation for scientific articles considering sentence information types known as rhetorical categories. A title can be seenas a high-compression summary of a document. A rhetorical category is an information type conveyed by the author of a text for each textual unit, for example: background, method, or result of the research. The experiment in this studyfocused on extracting the research purpose and research method information for inclusion in a computer-generated title. Sentences are classifiedinto rhetorical categories, after which these sentences are filtered using three methods. Three title candidates whose contents reflect the filtered sentencesare then generated using a template-based or an adaptive K-nearest neighbor approach. The experiment was conducted using two different dataset domains: computational linguistics and chemistry. Our study obtained a 0.109-0.255 F1-measure score on average for computer-generated titles compared to original titles. In a human evaluation the automatically generated titles were deemed 'relatively acceptable' in the computational linguistics domain and 'not acceptable' in the chemistry domain. It can be concluded that rhetorical categories have unexplored potential to improve the performance of summarization tasks in general.

Remote atomic clock synchronization via satellites and optical fibers (2011)

Abstract. In the global network of institutions engaged with the realization of International Atomic Time (TAI), atomic clocks and time scales are compared by means of the Global Positioning System (GPS) and by employing telecommunication satellites for two-way satellite time and frequency transfer (TWSTFT). The frequencies of the state-of-the-art primary caesium fountain clocks can be compared at the level of 10−15 (relative, 1 day averaging) and time scales can be synchronized with an uncertainty of one nanosecond. Future improvements of worldwide clock comparisons will require also an improvement of the local signal distribution systems. For example, the future ACES (atomic clock ensemble in space) mission shall demonstrate remote time scale comparisons at the uncertainty level of 100 ps. To ensure that the ACES ground instrument will be synchronized to the local time scale at the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) without a significant uncertainty contribution, we have developed a means for calibrated clock comparisons through optical fibers. An uncertainty below 40 ps over a distance of 2 km has been demonstrated on the campus of PTB. This technology is thus in general a promising candidate for synchronization of enhanced time transfer equipment with the local realizations of Coordinated Universal Time UTC. Based on these experiments we estimate the uncertainty level for calibrated time transfer through optical fibers over longer distances. These findings are compared with the current status and developments of satellite based time transfer systems, with a focus on the calibration techniques for operational systems.
Audible noise suppression with a real-time broad-band superdirective microphone array (2005)

A novel audible noise suppression (ANS) multichannel processor is proposed and implemented for real-time processing of data from a 15-microphone nested linear array. The ANS processor, based on the masking properties of the human auditory system, has been used successfully in single-channel systems. An enhanced multichannel version has now been developed, taking advantage of the extra information available in the acoustic spatial samples from the microphone array. This is used to improve the clean speech signal estimates used to calculate dynamically the noise hearing thresholds for ANS filtering, which will benefit the perceived and objective quality of the processed signal. While off-line experiments with a multichannel recorded database under different noise and reverberation conditions have previously assessed the performance of the system, several on-line experiments assessing the real-time prototype are described.
A general purpose Maxwell solver for the extraction of equivalent circuits of electronic package components for circuit simulation (1992)

The electromagnetic modeling of electronic packages is discussed, and a general-purpose Maxwell solver is presented for deriving equivalent circuits of various components of a package that can be inserted in a SPICE-type circuit simulation program to investigate the electrical performance of the package. The solver is based on the finite-difference-time-domain (FDTD) algorithm. Its usefulness is illustrated by applying it to a number of representative problems.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Lightness scale from image intensity distributions (1982)

A lightness scale is derived from a theoretical estimate of the probability distribution of image intensities for natural scenes. The derived image intensity distribution considers three factors: reflectance; surface orientation and illumination; and surface texture (or roughness). The convolution of the effects of these three factors yields the theoretical probability distribution of image intensities. A useful lightness scale should be the integral of this probability density function, for then equal intervals along the scale are equally probable and carry equal information. The result is a scale similar to that used in photography or by the nervous system as its transfer function.
Design of Framework supporting IPMI and DCMI based on Open BMC (2017)

This study aims at developing and applying a framework that supports IPMI(Intelligent Platform Management Interface) and DCMI(Data Center Manageability Interface) based on open BMC(Board Support Controller). The proposed framework includes IPMI 2.0-based control firmware and DCMI technology that enables server board management in the data center. The existing BMC has been provided in the form of a private binary by a third-party vendor, and needs to be consulted with vendors when changes such as addition / deletion are required. In addition, the functionality provided by BMC has been determined by vendor-specific characteristics. In this paper, the proposed open BMC provides BMC IDE environment as well as code release. Therefore, user (developer) can configure BMC function more easily, and it is designed to implement and delete additional function if necessary. The designed BMC IDE environment not only supports BMC Application development, but also helps board system providers to design and evaluate IPMI library and DCMI library.

WATERMARKING USING NEURAL NETWORK AND HIDING THE TRAINED NETWORK WITHIN THE COVER IMAGE (2008)

The major source of communication in present world is digital media. As it is quite easy to manipulate a digital media, it becomes essential to protect the digital information by legitimate means. Digital Watermarking has evolved as one of the latest technologies for digital media protection. Many techniques based on spatial and frequency domain have been developed in the recent past and are being used for effective watermarking. However, there is always a tradeoff between robustness and imperceptibility features of watermarking offered by these techniques. This paper offers a technique based on Backpropagation Neural Network to train a given cover image to produce a desired watermark image. At the end of the training, the entire trained neural network weights has been successfully hidden within the cover image itself. This makes it possible to supply only the cover image without any external weight files. By extraction techniques, the weights can be derived from the cover image and used to reconstruct the trained Neural Network again which in turn converts the cover image into desired watermark image. The technique for hiding the weights into the cover image has been designed in such a way that it does not produce visual deterioration of the original cover image. This method is extra secure as it leads to watermarking indirectly.
Optical Conformal Mapping (2006)

An invisibility device should guide light around an object as if nothing were there, regardless of where the light comes from. Ideal invisibility devices are impossible, owing to the wave nature of light. This study develops a general recipe for the design of media that create perfect invisibility within the accuracy of geometrical optics. The imperfections of invisibility can be made arbitrarily small to hide objects that are much larger than the wavelength. With the use of modern metamaterials, practical demonstrations of such devices may be possible. The method developed here can also be applied to escape detection by other electromagnetic waves or sound.
Automatic transistor sizing in high performance CMOS logic circuits (2003)

The authors present new methods for optimization-based automatic transistor sizing in digital CMOS VLSI circuits. The main novelty of their approach is that complete and accurate solutions of the circuit optimization problem are achieved at low computational costs. Hence complex design problems can be solved. As a practical application of the concepts, a circuit consisting of 11 logic gates is optimized. As a second example, the decoder of a hierarchical 64k-SRAM is considered, where parallel interacting signal paths are critical for timing. Noninferior design alternatives can be obtained by optimizing the different critical signal paths by successive application of the methods.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
The internalized CdSe/ZnS quantum dots impair the chondrogenesis of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (2006)

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are capable of differentiating into multiple cell lineages and are useful for therapeutic applications. Labeling the MSCs with fluorescent probes is beneficial in tracing the fate of MSCs after implantation. We have introduced the CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) into the human bone marrow MSCs and examined the effects of QDs on the proliferation and chondrogenesis of the cells. The internalized QDs were found localized in perinuclear regions and remained there after a number of cell passages. The presence of QDs did not affect the proliferation of cells or the size of chondrospheres formed, when subjected to chondrogenesis induction. However, the expression of mRNA and protein of type II collagen and aggrecan in the chondrospheres was significantly inhibited in cells labeled with QDs, suggesting impaired chondrogenesis. Our results that the presence of QDs interferes with the chondrogenic differentiation of MSCs raise concerns in using the QDs as fluorescence tracers for stem cells.
Identification of 3-(Methylthio)-Propanol as an Aroma Constituent in `Cabernet Sauvignon' and `Ruby Cabernet' Wines (1971)

An aroma constituent present in very small amounts in `Cabernet Sauvignon9 and `Ruby Cabernet9 wines has been identified as 3-(methylthio)-propanol or methionol. Methionol, which has a raw-potato odor, was identified by its mass spectrum. It was shown that normal fermentation of must to which extra methionine had been added yielded augmented concentrations of methionol, and the methionol from this fermentation was identified through infrared spectra as well as mass spectra. Methionol synthesized from 3-(methylthio)-propanal by reduction with NaBH<sub>4</sub> had mass and infrared spectra and gas-chromatographic retention times identical with those of the compounds isolated from the wines A parallel attempt failed to demonstrate augmented production of 4-hydroxy-butyric acid or gamma-butyrolactone when the must was fortified with glutamic acid. Reasons for nonoperation of the Ehrlich-Neubauer-Fromherz mechanism in the case of glutamic acid, and possible alternate pathways for the disappearance of this acid, are discussed.
Urinary nucleosides (1998)

The methods of analysis, origins, and clinical significance of urinary nucleosides are reviewed through 1997. Structures, chromatographic and mass spectral data and references to the clinical literature are presented for each of the 57 nucleosides currently identified in normal and pathogenic human urine samples. Data from the HPLC separation and GC/MS analysis of 37 individual HPLC fractions are presented and discussed. Methods, including sample preparation techniques, used for the analysis of urinary nucleosides including GC, HPLC, GC/MS, HPLC/MS and immunoassays are compared and the advantages and limitations of each method described. The conclusion is drawn that the urinary nucleosides do serve as biomarkers of cancer and other diseases, but analytical methods need further improvement if clinical decisions are to be made based on the levels of nucleosides in human urine.
Si-PIN Detector Response Function Model and Its Applications in EDXRF Technology (2013)

The spectrum analysis can be carried out via establishing the detector response function(DRF),to improve the automation level and the computation accuracy of the spectrum data processing.A general DRF model is established for Si-PIN detectors via the analysis of the X-ray physical detect procedure.The model contains four parts: a flat continuum shift from zero to full energy;a Gaussian shaped principal component of full energy peak;a Gaussian shaped Si escape peak;and an exponential tail on the low energy side of the full energy peak.Each part of the model,with a simple format,has a clear and definite physical meaning.Parameters are obtained by using the program,based on the Weighted Least-Squares(WLS) method.Nineteen elements' X-ray spectra in total are fitted in the study,and the fitting reduced chi-squares are also obtained simultaneously,which is in the range of 1.05-2.71.It is shown that this DRF model can represent the characteristic X-ray spectrum peak shape very well.
Foliar absorption of some glyphosate formulations and their efficacy on plants (1995)

Abstract Uptake of various doses (0.27–4.06 g litre −1 ) of glyphosate acid formulated with various concentrations (0.27–5.42 g litre −1 ) of two polyethoxylated alcohol surfactants ‘Genapol’ T‐150, ‘Genapol’ T‐250) in wheat ( Triticum aestivum L. cv. Ralle) 24 h after application was studied. Both surfactants greatly enhanced glyphosate uptake at concentrations up to 1.35 g litre −1 . Uptake could be slightly further improved by ‘Genapol’ T‐150 up to 5.42 g litre −1 while ‘Genapol’ T‐250 at this high concentration antagonized uptake a little. Uptake of glyphosate‐monoammonium formulated with a quaternary ammonium surfactant (‘Trimao’ (8PO)) in wheat and white mustard ( Sinapis alba L. cv. Alba) was also studied. Uptake of glyphosate‐monoammonium in wheat was enhanced at surfactant concentrations up to 1.35 g litre −1 . Beyond this concentration uptake continued to increase slightly but not significantly. Generally, glyphosatemonoammonium formulated with ‘Trimao’ (8PO) was not taken up as extensively by mustard as by wheat, and the optimum surfactant concentration is probably higher on mustard. The optimal combinations of surfactant concentration and glyphosate dose based on uptake 24 h after application were used in a time‐course study. Results from uptake studies were compared with the efficacy of similar formulations on wheat. The surfactant concentration range which gave the most pronounced effect on glyphosate uptake was found to be similar (0–1 g litre −1 ) in both studies. However, the surfactant concentration providing maximum herbicide uptake was found to be higher in the uptake study compared to the surfactant concentration providing optimal efficacy in the dose‐response experiments. A dose rate of 0.5 g litre −1 of ‘Tween’ 20 (sorbitan monolaurate surfactant) improved efficacy of a formulation with an optimal mix of glyphosate‐monoammonium and ‘Trimao’ (8PO). Ammonium sulfate (5.0 g litre −1 ) did not improve this formulation further.
