Frequent analgesic use at population level: Prevalence and patterns of use (2005)

Statistics and prescription database studies show that analgesics are widely utilized, but do not tell anything about either the factors behind analgesic use or how over-the-counter (OTC) analgesics are being used. We aimed to study the prevalence of frequent use of prescribed and OTC analgesics. We also investigated the background factors related to frequent analgesic use and assessed rationality of analgesic usage patterns. We addressed a postal survey to a random stratified population sample of 6500 Finnish people aged 15-74 years. The response rate was 71% (n=4542) after exclusion of unobtainable addressees (n=68). Individuals reporting analgesic use 'daily' or 'a few times a week' were categorized as frequent users. After adjusting for age and sex, the overall prevalence of daily analgesic use was 8.5%, and the prevalence of analgesic use a few times a week 13.6%. The adjusted prevalence of using exclusively prescribed analgesics daily or a few times a week was 8.7%, and that of utilizing purely OTC analgesics 8.8%. The overall prevalence of concomitant frequent use of both prescribed and OTC analgesics was 4.6%. Multinominal logistic regression analyses showed that frequent analgesic use was related especially to daily or continuous pain and high pain intensity. Low mood and not being employed also increased the probability for daily analgesic use. Frequent analgesic use seems to be common at population level. Concomitant use of both prescribed and OTC analgesics can be considered irrational, as it increases the risk of adverse events.
The drift mobility of injected minority carriers in P-type germanium (1966)

The Problem was to determine the drift mobility of minority carriers injected into a sample of P-type germanium.The drift mobility was one of the characteristics of a semiconductor material which had to be known in order to determine whether the material was suitable for use in a semiconductor device. It was determined by performing a laboratory experiment in which minority carriers were injected into the sample of P-type germanium to which an electric field was applied. The resulting data was utilized in calculating the drift mobility of the minority carriers.
Algorithm and approaches to handle large Data- A Survey (2013)

Data mining environment produces a large amount of data, that need to be analyzed, patterns have to be extracted from that to gain knowledge. In this new era with boom of data both structured and unstructured, in the field of genomics, meteorology, biology, environmental research and many others, it has become difficult to process, manage and analyze patterns using traditional databases and architectures. So, a proper architecture should be understood to gain knowledge about the Big Data. This paper presents a review of various algorithms from 1994-2013 necessary for handling such large data set. These algorithms define various structures and methods implemented to handle Big Data, also in the paper are listed various tool that were developed for analyzing them.
Locally Confined Modality Fusion Network With a Global Perspective for Multimodal Human Affective Computing (2019)

In this paper, we propose a novel multimodal fusion framework, called the locally confined modality fusion network (LMFN), that contains a bidirectional multiconnected LSTM (BM-LSTM) to address the multimodal human affective computing problem. In the LMFN, we introduce a generic fusion structure that explores both local and global fusion to obtain an integral comprehension of information. Specifically, we partition the feature vector corresponding to each modality into multiple segments and learn every local interaction through a tensor fusion procedure. Global interaction is then modeled by learning the dependence between local tensors via an originally designed BM-LSTM architecture, establishing a direct connection of cells and states of local tensors that are several time steps apart. With the LMFN, we achieve advantages over other methods in the following aspects: 1) local interactions are successfully modeled using a feasible vector segmentation procedure that can explore cross-modal dynamics in a more specialized manner; 2) global interactions are modeled to obtain an integral view of multimodal information using BM-LSTM, which guarantees an adequate flow of information; and 3) our general fusion structure is highly extendable by applying other local and global fusion methods. Experiments show that the LMFN yields state-of-the-art results. Moreover, the LMFN achieves higher efficiency compared to other models by applying the outer product as the fusion method.

Application of the essential oil from copaiba (Copaifera langsdori Desf.) for acne vulgaris: a double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial. (2012)

Copaiba oil-resin is widely used in traditional medicine due to its anti-inflammatory, healing, and antiseptic activities. This research aims to extract and evaluate the qualitative and quantitative composition of copaiba essential oil from the oil-resin, and test its effects, after incorporation in a gel applied in volunteers with acne, in a double-blind placebo controlled clinical trial. The essential oil was extracted by steam distillation, and purified by freezing to remove the residual remnant water. The density of the essential oil was gravimetrically determined by weighing 1 mL of liquid at 20 degree C. The identification of the essential oil components was carried out through high-resolution gas chromatography analysis, coupled with mass spectrometry. The essential oil has a density of 0.9175 mg/mL and was composed of 48 substances, 14 of which were the major components representing 95.80% of total essential oil composition. Cis-thujopsene was the main component (46.96% of total essential oil composition). The surface affected with acne decreased when treated with placebo (F = 13.931, p = 0.001, r = 0.518; r2 = 0.268), but the linear model could explain only 26.8% of total variance in original data matrix. There was a highly significant decrease in the surface affected with acne in the areas treated with the 1.0% copaiba essential oil preparation (F = 86.494, p = 0.000, r = 0.834; r2 = 0.695).
Sepsis-Induced Apoptosis Causes Progressive Profound Depletion of B and CD4+ T Lymphocytes in Humans (2001)

Patients with sepsis have impaired host defenses that contribute to the lethality of the disorder. Recent work implicates lymphocyte apoptosis as a potential factor in the immunosuppression of sepsis. If lymphocyte apoptosis is an important mechanism, specific subsets of lymphocytes may be more vulnerable. A prospective study of lymphocyte cell typing and apoptosis was conducted in spleens from 27 patients with sepsis and 25 patients with trauma. Spleens from 16 critically ill nonseptic (3 prospective and 13 retrospective) patients were also evaluated. Immunohistochemical staining showed a caspase-9-mediated profound progressive loss of B and CD4 T helper cells in sepsis. Interestingly, sepsis did not decrease CD8 T or NK cells. Although there was no overall effect on lymphocytes from critically ill nonseptic patients (considered as a group), certain individual patients did exhibit significant loss of B and CD4 T cells. The loss of B and CD4 T cells in sepsis is especially significant because it occurs during life-threatening infection, a state in which massive lymphocyte clonal expansion should exist. Mitochondria-dependent lymphocyte apoptosis may contribute to the immunosuppression in sepsis by decreasing the number of immune effector cells. Similar loss of lymphocytes may be occurring in critically ill patients with other disorders.
An enhanced approach to character recognition by Fourier descriptor (1992)

A new algorithm of utilizing Fourier descriptors (FDs) as unique features in representation and classification of contours is proposed. It enhances the description of local information and distinguishes similar contours. The characteristic of this algorithm is to represent the object by several sets of FDs which represent different portions of the object in contrast to only one set of FDs which represents the whole object. The authors use a model-based approach in the recognition stage in which these sets, say k sets, of FDs of the input numeral will be matched with each predefined model of the numeral class. It is shown that a higher accuracy rate can be achieved by using a multicategory classifier incorporated with an artificial neural network classifier. Finally, an experiment on numeral recognition by the proposed algorithm is reported.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Stress orientations from borehole wall fractures with examples from Colorado, east Texas, and northern Canada (1982)

Azimuthally aligned breakouts in oil wells are explained as shear fractures in the zone of amplified stress difference near the borehole, in a stress field having unequal horizontal principal stresses. Brittle fracture theory, on the Mohr–Coulomb failure criterion, shows that the fractures will propagate from the wall and cause wide spalled zones observable with the four-arm dipmeter. In homogeneous rock, breakouts formed in this way should lengthen the diameter by no more than 8–10%. The breakouts occur near the ends of the diameter parallel to the smaller horizontal stress. Tensile fractures may occur in the orthogonal azimuth, but are unlikely to be seen by the four-arm dipmeter calipers.Three examples are given of principal stress orientations inferred from borehole breakouts. At Rangely, Colorado, breakout azimuths suggest an approximately east–west principal compression in agreement with results obtained previously from direct stress measurements, hydrofracture, and earthquake mechanism analysis. In the east Texas Basin, north-northwest to northwest aligned breakouts suggest maximum horizontal stresses oriented at right angles to these directions. This is consistent with inferences from recent extensional faulting and one hydraulic fracture determination. In the Norman Wells area of northern Canada, northwest–southeast aligned breakouts suggest a contemporary horizontal principal compression closely parallel to natural, probably hydraulic fractures of Laramide age in a subsurface limestone reservoir. The inferred principal stress axes are consistent with the structural evolution of this area, and extend the evidence for coherent stress orientation in western Canada from southern Alberta to Norman Wells, a distance of 1900 km.
Towards insider threat detection using web server logs (2009)

Malicious insiders represent one of the most difficult categories of threats an organization must consider when mitigating operational risk. Insiders by definition possess elevated privileges; have knowledge about control measures; and may be able to bypass security measures designed to prevent, detect, or react to unauthorized access. In this paper, we discuss our initial research efforts focused on the detection of malicious insiders who exploit internal organizational web servers. The objective of the research is to apply lessons learned in network monitoring domains and enterprise log management to investigate various approaches for detecting insider threat activities using standardized tools and a common event expression framework.
Fast Visual Tracking using Motion Saliency in Video (2007)

We present a novel tracking method for surveillance videos where the object and camera motion could be irregular. The tracker is mainly based on the mechanism of motion saliency detection, where regions of interest are detected according to the motion saliency of the moving objects. Without estimating global and local motion explicitly, we generate motion saliency by using the rank deficiency of gray scale gradient tensors within the local region neighborhoods of the image. In addition, multiple spatial features of targets are integrated in the system to assist the region-based tracking task. Experiment results on many videos suggest that the proposed method tracks moving targets efficiently even in videos with unstable cameras.

<title>MAC protocol for an ATM-based SuperPON</title> (1996)

Developments in optical amplifiers and the tendency towards fewer and larger switching stages made feasible and desirable the concept of SuperPONs with a range of 100km. Up to 15000 residential customers can share the SuperPON on a TDMA basis lowering the cost of access to B-ISDN services. Tree PONs require a MAC protocol to arbitrate the access to upstream slots among the competing customer ATM cells in a dynamic and efficient way. The protocol presented in this work combines different access mechanisms according to service quality requirements. All bursty traffic is manipulated transparently using a reservation approach with closed loop control so as to handle the unpredictability of arrivals. In contrast, voice, N-ISDN and other delay sensitive services are provided with unsolicited access permits. In addition, composite cells offered quasi- synchronous permits are used to support STM legacy traffic without echo-cancellers. So, ABR traffic which is delay tolerant and more cost sensitive, can and should be concentrated with full exploitation of multiplexing gain prospects. The permit distribution algorithm focuses on cell spacing, control of CDV, almost jitter free access for synchronous traffic and efficiency for ABR traffic.
Lipases as biocatalysts for biodiesel production (2010)

Lipases can be used for a variety of biotechnological applications: synthesis of fine chemicals, therapeutics, agrochemicals, cosmetics, flavors, biopolymers and biodiesel. Biodiesel is an alternative fuel for diesel engines that is environmentally acceptable. Conventionally, biodiesel is produced by transesterification of triglycerides and short chain alcohols in the presence of an acid or an alkaline catalyst. There are several problems associated with this kind of production that can be resolved by using lipase as the biocatalyst. The usage of lipases has several advantages over the conventional chemical methods. It is considered as less energy intensive and environmentally friendly. However, there are two main obstacles associated with the effective utilization of lipases in the production of biodiesel. The main one is the cost of the enzyme and its poor stability in the presence of excess alcohol. Several strategies are proposed to overcome these drawbacks: immobilization of lipases, stepwise addition of alcohol, and the usage of novel acyl acceptors and the usage of whole cell biocatalysts.
Strong Dynamic Interactions of Grid-Connected DFIGs With Power Systems Caused by Modal Coupling (2017)

This paper establishes a closed-loop interconnected dynamic model of a power system with a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) for wind power generation, wherein, the DFIG and power system are modeled as two open-loop interconnected subsystems. The established model indicates that the impact of the dynamic interactions introduced by the DFIG on the power system's small-signal angular stability is the difference between the closed-loop and open-loop electromechanical oscillation modes (EOMs). The analysis conducted in this study reveals that when an open-loop DFIG oscillation mode (DOM) is close to an open-loop EOM on the complex plane, the modal coupling of the open-loop EOM and DOM can cause strong dynamic interactions between the DFIG and the power system; thus, the DFIG has a significant impact on the power system's small-signal angular stability. An example multimachine power system with grid-connected DFIGs is presented to demonstrate and validate the analysis and conclusions made in the paper.
Energy Balance of Microalgal-derived Biodiesel (2010)

Abstract Microalgae have been discussed to be a potential biomass source for the production of biodiesel. This article investigates the renewability of microalgal-sourced biodiesel by analyzing the fossil energy requirements for the microalgal biomass production and fuel conversion process. The results of the analysis carried out in this article indicates that with the present day scenario, the fossil fuel inputs into microalgae biodiesel production outweighs the energy outputs obtained. However, it is further shown that with the integration of renewable electricity generation systems and non-conventional nutrient sources, microalgal-derived biodiesel can be truly considered to be a renewable fuel.
Towards Service Composition Based on Mashup (2007)

Mashup is a hallmark of Web 2.0 and attracts both industry and academia. It refers to an ad hoc composition technology of Web applications that allows users to draw upon content retrieved from external data sources to create entirely new services. Compared to traditional "developer-centric" composition technologies, e.g., BPEI and WSCI, mashup provides a flexible and easy-of-use way for service composition on Web. It makes the consumers free to compose services as they wish as well as simplifies the composition task. This paper makes two contributions. Firstly, we propose the mashup architecture, extend current SOA model with mashup and analyze how it facilitates service composition. Secondly, we propose a mashup component model to help developers leverage to create their own composite services. A case study is given to illustrate how to do service composition by mashup. This paper also discusses about some interesting topics about mashup.

The Gridded Fault Surface: Chapter 11 (1992)

Faulted structural surfaces present difficult problems for the computer mapper, though several solutions are possible. In this paper, I present a method whereby the fault plane is treated as if it were a structural surface. The method uses fault picks, oil/water contact data, directional survey data, and reservoir data. The data are manipulated and mapped with a commercially available mapping package using standard gridding, editing, and data-to-grid manipulations. The resulting fault grids can be integrated with grids of structural surfaces, used as boundary surfaces, or used to develop fault gaps on structure maps. Fault-surface modeling is most applicable to large oil fields with many wells. Several advantages have been realized, including accurate fault locations at all horizons and accurate predicted fault penetrations for new well locations. When new penetrations are encountered, they can be used to update the fault plane and then the revision can be employed to correct the structure maps. Multiple interpretations for the fault surface can be tested for validity. The techniques and products described were developed for the Wilmington oil field in Long Beach, California.
Leveraging Cloud-Based Predictive Analytics to Strengthen Audience Engagement (2015)

To grow their business and increase their audience, content distributors must understand the viewing habits and interests of content consumers. This typically requires solving tough computational problems, such as rapidly processing vast amounts of raw data from websites, social media, devices, catalogs, and back-channel sources. Fortunately, today's content distributors can take advantage of the scalability, cost effectiveness, and pay-as-you go model of the cloud to address these challenges. In this paper, we show content distributors how to use cloud technologies to build predictive analytic solutions. We examine architectural patterns for optimizing media delivery, and we discuss how to assess the overall consumer experience based on representative data sources. Finally, we present concrete implementations of cloud-based machine learning services and show how to use the services to profile audience demand, to cue content recommendations, and to prioritize the delivery of related media.
Paris Basin VSPs: case history establishing combinations of fine-layer (or lithologic) anisotropy and crack anisotropy from modelling shear wavefields near point singularities (1991)

This paper examines shear-wave splitting in multi-offset VSPs at a borehole site in the Paris Basin, and demonstrates that the sedimentary structure must have, at least, orthorhombic anisotropic symmetry. It is suggested that the most likely cause for such an orthorhombic symmetry is the combination of fine-layer (or lithologic) anisotropy and crack anisotropy. Transition zones (close to shear-wave singularities), where there are rapid changes of shear-wave polarizations and delays, can account for the anomalous observed waveforms. Observations of large variations in shear-wave polarizations in propagation directions close to point singularities, are probably the first positive identification of the effects of singularities in sedimentary basins.
