RUFS: RobUst Forwarder Selection in Vehicular Content-Centric Networks (2015)

Vehicular Content-Centric Network (VCCN) has emerged as a future network technology for vehicular networks, where the focus of communication is shifted from the host to information centric. However, VCCN faces several challenges, including interest/data packet(s) flooding, provider/consumer mobility, and so on. In this letter, we propose a scheme named RobUst Forwarder Selection (RUFS) to mitigate the interest broadcast storm. In RUFS, each vehicle shares its satisfied interest(s) statistics with neighbors. All neighbors store this information in their Neighbors Satisfied List (NSL), which helps to select the potential interest forwarder. Simulation results show that RUFS outperforms the recently proposed NAIF, DR based and basic interest forwarding in VCCN.
Metabolic and Endocrine Disturbances in Psychiatric Disorders: A Multidisciplinary Approach to Appropriate Atypical Antipsychotic Utilization (2005)

Patients with psychiatric disorders have an increased rate of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality compared with the general population. Metabolic issues such as weight gain, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, diabetic ketoacidosis,and pancreatitis have been reported with the use of antipsychotic agents. Although atypical antipsychotics have not been linked directly to the development of metabolic syndrome, these medications have been shown to increase risk factors that can lead to metabolic and endocrine disturbances. Therefore, clinicians should provide ongoing monitoring for patients who are being treated for psychiatric disorders with these agents. According to the 2004 Consensus Report on Antipsychotics, screening measures should include baseline and follow-up monitoring of personal/family histories, weight (body mass index), waist circumference, blood pressure, fasting plasma glucose, and fasting lipid profile.
THE EFFECT OF VARIOUS THYROXINE ANALOGUES ON SUPPRESSION OF I<sup>131</sup>UPTAKE BY THE RAT THYROID<sup>1</sup> (1959)

Forty-five different thyroxinc analogues have been compared to l-thyroxinc for their ability to decrease the thyroid collection of I131 in the rat. On a weight basis only 3,5,3′-triiodo-l-thyronine was found more effective than l-thyroxine. Compounds containing iodine were all capable of producing some inhibition roviding the dosage was adequate. THE dose of thyroid hormone, within limits, can be directly related to thyroidal uptake of I131 in experimental animals. This method has been used in the present report to assay the relative effectiveness of thyroxine analogues in blocking uptake of radioiodine in rats. Approximately 2,500 male rats of the Sprague-Dawley strain (Charles-River Breeding Laboratories, Boston, Massachusetts) ranging in weight between 75–125 gm. were used in this study. They were selected so that the average body weight of each group as essentially identical within each separate experiment.
Theory of Infrared and Optical Frequency Amplification in Metal-Barrier-Metal Diodes (1979)

The near-infrared and optical frequency power gain of a metal-barrier-metal (MBM) point contact diode exhibiting a negative differential resistance region in its current-voltage characteristic is derived as a function of frequency. The diode is treated as a traveling-wave amplifier. The starting point for the analysis is the known electric and magnetic field distribution of the surface waves that propagate in the oxide barrier layer between the diode whisker and substrate, assuming no tunneling current is present. Then the differential tunneling conductance is introduced, and the electric and magnetic field distribution is used to find the propagation constant of the equivalent transmission line formed by the diode structure. It is shown that if the differential tunneling conductance is negative, gain can result. It is shown theoretically that the diode amplifier can provide approximately a 6-dB gain from the CO/sub 2/ laser frequency to the He-Ne laser frequency.
Predictable multithread scheduling with cycle-accurate thread progress monitor (2011)

One of the key challenges to develop applications for multicore-based embedded systems is enduring software complexity and performance requirements raised by parallel programming. Adaptive, self-aware or deterministic computing has been proposed as one method to help application developer cope with these problems. To provide these advanced features, the developer should monitor their application to know the current state of the application for optimizing or adapting to meet their goals. One solution is to make thread progress index of a program for tracking their current state. To guarantee accuracy of the tracking method, we find that the process of a thread should be repeatable and accurate. If the progress does not have the properties, it is impossible to guarantee the accuracy and determinism of the method for tracking progress of thread. Additionally, we minimize the overhead to measure and manage the progress even though providing the cycle-accurate progress tracking with inevitable runtime overhead. In this paper, we propose an efficient method to monitoring thread progress with a cycle-accurate deterministic progress counter and an efficient management technique for adaptive scheduling algorithm. As a case study, we implement 24 video decoders on a quad core system using the proposed runtime system and show the experimental result which yields a geometric mean overhead of about 2.1% to monitor each thread and these applications yield a mean performance improvement of 6% relative to normal execution when running on 4 cores.

Defective‐Activated‐Carbon‐Supported Mn–Co Nanoparticles as a Highly Efficient Electrocatalyst for Oxygen Reduction (2016)

A highly active and durable cathodic oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalyst is synthesized by introducing a small amount of Mn-Co spinel into a kind of defective activated-carbon (D-AC) support. It is assumed that the synergetic coupling effects between the unique defects in the D-AC and the loaded Mn-Co spinel facilitate the ORR and enhance its durability.
Biochemical Basis of Obligate Autotrophy in <i>Nitrosomonas europaea</i> (1969)

The specific activities of isocitric dehydrogenase, alpha-ketoglutaric dehydrogenase, succinic dehydrogenase, malic dehydrogenase, and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) oxidase were determined in extracts of Nitrosomonas europaea and compared with the corresponding values for Anacystis nidulans and autotrophically grown Hydrogenomonas eutropha. In common with other obligate autotrophs and in contrast to facultative autotrophs, Nitrosomonas extracts lacked alpha-ketoglutaric dehydrogenase and KCN-sensitive NADH oxidase activity and had low succinic dehydrogenase activity. The Nitrosomonas NADH oxidase appeared to be of the peroxidase type.

In this paper, a survey on the most typical mesh errors is given. Each error is described in detail, it is illustrated\non an example and surface based techniques for its detection and correction are presented. Covered errors\ninclude cracks, holes, T-joints, overlaps, zero volume parts, duplicated geometry, self intersections, inconsistent\nnormal orientation, invisible polygons, degenerate faces and concavities.\nWe consider the separation of the detection and the correction phases advantageous as it gives the user a better\ncontrol over the mesh correction process, allowing better corrected meshes without introducing new errors,\nsimplifications, or deformations.
Intrusion detection in distributed systems, an approach based on taint marking (2013)

This paper presents a new framework for distributed intrusion detection based on taint marking. Our system tracks information flows between applications of multiple hosts gathered in groups (i.e. sets of hosts sharing the same distributed information flow policy) by attaching taint labels to system objects such as files, sockets, Inter Process Communication (IPC) abstractions, and memory mappings. Labels are carried over the network by tainting network packets. A distributed information flow policy is defined for each group at the host level by labeling information and defining how users and applications can legally access, alter or transfer information towards other trusted or untrusted hosts. As opposed to existing approaches, where information is most often represented by two security levels (low/high, public/private etc.), our model identifies each piece of information within a distributed system, and defines their legal interaction in a fine-grained manner. Hosts store and exchange security labels in a peer to peer fashion, and there is no central monitor. Our IDS is implemented in the Linux kernel as a Linux Security Module (LSM) and runs standard software on commodity hardware with no required modification. The only trusted code is our modified operating system kernel. We finally present a scenario of intrusion in a web service running on multiple hosts, and show how our distributed IDS is able to report security violations at each host level.

New developments in clinical oncology: the interdependence of bench and bedside. (1991)

Efforts to diminish the overall morbidity and mortality of malignancy have required a variety of strategies and a balanced national research agenda. The design of curative regimens against leukemia, lymphomas, testis cancer, and childhood malignancies is a tribute to the interactions between laboratory and clinical scientists. Laboratory models illustrated the importance of dose and the need for combinations to avoid the emergence of drug resistance in heterogeneous tumors. In addressing the incurability of common epithelial cancers in adults once disseminated, again laboratory models suggested that regimens which produced responses in advanced disease might be curative in patients with micro-metastases. Such proved to be the case in adjuvant therapy for breast cancer involving lymph nodes and for osteogenic sarcoma. Recent studies have extended this strategy to less advanced breast cancer and to locally advanced colon cancer. Lung cancer has required a different strategy. A coalition has developed to support the strongest possible public position against smoking. For the first time lung cancer incidence has leveled off in white males. Women and minorities continue to be a major target for smoking cessation programs. While large randomized trials are expensive (and to some scientists, unexciting), they are our most reliable means of detecting treatment differences of 10 to 15%. Because lung, breast, and colon cancer kill almost 250,000 Americans each year, such "small" differences represent thousands of Americans. There are also a number of interesting current studies that may impact in the longer term on the care of patients with cancer. Research of three different groups of investigators has recently converged. Over the past 3 decades several groups of basic laboratory investigators had been studying and cloning hematopoietic growth factors. Large randomized trials now confirm that myelosuppression after intensive chemotherapy can be substantially ameliorated, reducing infections and decreasing hospital days, risks, and costs. Another cohort of clinical pharmacologists and clinicians were studying bone marrow transplantation, developing combinations of agents that can be given at high dose to overcome resistance, albeit with considerable toxicity. Other groups in blood banks and those interested in the regulation of hematopoiesis recognized that early hematopoietic progenitor cells circulate in the peripheral blood. Their number were increased after certain chemotherapy regimens, by growth factors and most remarkably, with growth factors given after chemotherapy. Patients supported with peripheral blood progenitor cells reengraft both platelets and granulocytes more rapidly than those given marrow, in the time frame of recovery after standard doses of chemotherapy (i.e., 21 days).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)
Irreversible temperature‐responsive formation of high‐strength hydrogel from an enantiomeric mixture of starburst triblock copolymers consisting of 8‐arm PEG and PLLA or PDLA (2008)

Abstract Starburst triblock copolymers consisting of 8‐arm poly(ethylene glycol) (8‐arm PEG) and biodegradable poly( L ‐lactide) (PLLA) or its enantiomer poly( D ‐lactide) (PDLA), 8‐arm PEG‐ b ‐PLLA‐ b ‐PEG ( Stri‐L ), and 8‐arm PEG‐ b ‐PDLA‐ b ‐PEG ( Stri‐D ) were synthesized. An aqueous solution of a 1:1 mixture ( Stri‐Mix ) of Stri‐L and Stri‐D assumed a sol state at room temperature, but instantaneously formed a physically crosslinked hydrogel in response to increasing temperature. The resulting hydrogel exhibited a high‐storage modulus (9.8 kPa) at 37 °C. Interestingly, once formed at the transition temperature, the hydrogel was stable even after cooling below the transition temperature. The hydrogel formation process was irreversible because of the formation of stable stereocomplexes. In aqueous solution, gradual hydrolytic erosion was observed because of degradation of the hydrogel. The combination of rapid temperature‐triggered irreversible hydrogel formation, high‐mechanical strength, and degradation behavior render this polymer mixture system suitable for use in injectable biomedical materials, for example, as a drug delivery system for bioactive reagents or a biodegradable scaffold for tissue engineering. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A Self-Attention Feature Fusion Model for Rice Pest Detection (2022)

To address the problem that existing deep learning methods are not sufficiently accurate to detect rice pests with changeable shapes or similar appearances, a self-attention feature fusion model for rice pest detection (SAFFPest) was proposed. The model was based on VarifocalNet. First, a deformable convolution module was added to the feature extraction network, to improve the feature extraction ability of pests with changeable shapes. Second, by obtaining the balance features of multiple feature maps, the self-attention mechanism was introduced to refine the balance feature, in order to better restore the semantic information of some pests with similar appearances. Subsequently, the group normalization method was used to replace the batch normalization method in the original model, to reduce the impact of batch size on model training. The IP102 rice pest dataset was used to train and verify this model. The experimental results showed that the model can accurately detect nine kinds of rice pests, such as rice leaf rollers and rice leaf caterpillars. Compared with FasterRCNN, RetinaNet, CP-FCOS, VFNet and BiFA-YOLO, the mean average precision of the model improved by 33.7%, 6.5%, 4.5%, 2.9% and 2% respectively.
Magnetomechanical coupling, ΔE effect, and permeability in FeSiB and FeNiMoB alloys (1982)

Measurements of magnetomechanical coupling, ΔE effect, and relative permeability have been made as a function of bias field and annealing temperature and time in transversely annealed samples of Metglas R a) alloy 2605S-2 (Fe78Si9B13), Metglas alloy 2605S-3 (Fe79Si5B16), and Metglas alloy 2826MB (Fe40Ni38Mo4B18). Annealing temperatures and times were varied from 300 to 450 °C and 15 to 60 min, respectively. The bias field which generates the largest coupling factor in these alloys is less than 1 Oe. From an application point of view, this low optimum field has a distinct advantage in power requirements over the 11 Oe field required for Metglas alloy 2605CO1 but the low field requirement is a marked disadvantage when considering bias field stability. That is, a 0.5 Oe change in field can result in greatly reduced coupling in the present alloys versus a very small change in 2605CO.
A design method to achieve wide wavelength-flattened responses in the directional coupler-type optical power splitters (2001)

A simple design method to achieve wide flattened bandwidths in the directional coupler-type light power splitters is presented, which is applicable both to the three- and two-guide couplers. Couplers with variable differences along the guide axis in the propagation constant between the waveguides are investigated, and the optimum profiles of the variation of the propagation-constant difference are designed for desired given wavelength responses. Designed examples for the three- and two-port splitting operations in the three-guide coupler and for two-port splitting operations in the two-guide coupler are demonstrated, in which the detuning of the propagation constant is assumed to be given by the electrooptic effect in the LiNbO/sub 3/ used as the substrate.
Robotics for distribution power lines: Overview of the last decade (2012)

This paper presents a review of state-of-the-art robotics systems developed or in use on overhead/underground power distribution lines in the past decade. It covers only those robotic applications that are designed for use on the distribution network, that is, any part of the power system located between the transmission lines/substations (transmission network) and the end users. The first part of the paper discusses robots for overhead distribution lines, while the second section focuses on underground lines. The author concludes with a discussion on robotics related to distribution lines in general.
Predisposing Factors, Microbial Characteristics, and Clinical Outcome of Microbial Keratitis in a Tertiary Centre in Hong Kong: A 10-Year Experience (2015)

Purpose. To study the risk factors, microbial profile, antibiotic susceptibility pattern, and outcome for microbial keratitis over the past 10 years in a tertiary center in Hong Kong. Methods. All cases with corneal scraping performed in Queen Mary Hospital, Hong Kong from January 2004 to December 2013 were included. Clinical outcome was defined as poor if the final visual acuity (VA) was abnormal or worse than presenting VA, a major complication occurred, or therapeutic keratoplasty was required. Results. 347 scrapes were performed in the 10-year period growing 130 microorganisms (32.3% culture positive rate). Contact lens use was the commonest risk factor. The commonest isolates were coagulase-negative Staphylococcus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Fluoroquinolone susceptibility was tested in 47 Gram-negative bacteria with 93.6% susceptibility (100% for Pseudomonas). 90.7% of cases had good visual outcome. Multivariate logistic regression showed age (p = 0.03), trauma (p = 0.006), and ulcer size >3 mm (p = 0.039) to be independently associated with poor outcome. Conclusion. There was no shifting trend in the isolate distribution or emergence of resistant strains in our study. Contact lens wear was the commonest risk factor, with Pseudomonas being the most frequent isolate in this group. It remained 100% susceptible to fluoroquinolones and 97% cases had good visual outcome.

Allergens in sesame oil contact dermatitis (1975)

In 13 patients with contact allergy to sesame oil, studies were undertaken to elucidate the nature of the allergens. Sesamol, sesamin and sesamolin were identified in crude and purified (pharmaceutical) sesame oil. Patch tests showed 8 of the 13 patients to be positive to sesamol and 12 to sesamolin and sesamin. Patch tests with the pure substances on thin-layer sheets were inconclusive as to any difference between these substances. Group allergy to several substances related to sesamol could not be clearly demonstrated.
