[Expression and immunization testing of fusion protein of Newcastle disease virus in leaf tissue of transgenic rice]. (2005)

Transgenic plant is an attractive bioreactor to produce recombinant protein, such as safe and economic vaccine. In present study, a plant expression binary vector pUNDV, containing the 1.7 kb fusion protein gene of Newcastle Disease Virus (NDV F) under the control of maize ubiquitin (Ubi) promoter and nos terminator was constructed, in which, the Hygromycin phosphotransferase (HPT) gene was used as the selectable marker. The expression cassette was introduced into a japonica rice variety by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation, and 6 independent transgenic rice lines were regenerated and verified by hygromycin resistance selection. The integration of target gene in transgenic plants was confirmed by PCR analysis. The results from ELISA and Western blot analyses revealed that NDV F could be expressed in the leaf of several transgenic plants. The total salt soluble proteins were extracted from leaf of transgenic plant F5, which contained the highest expressing level of NDV F protein, and used in immunization of BALB/c mice. The specific antibodies could be elicited in mice immunized with NDV F protein expressed in transgenic rice.
COMPARISON OF FRINGE MULTIPLICATION AND TARDY COMPENSATION METHODS FOR A FROZEN STRESS INVESTIGATION (1967)

Summary A practical application of the fringe multiplication method is described. Using techniques reported by Post, the method was found to be convenient and less time consuming than the normal Tardy compensation technique which was used as a comparison. For the cases studied it was found that fringe multiplications of 7x gave equivalent fringe order distributions to the Tardy technique.
Induction of apoptosis in ovarian carcinoma cells by AHPN/CD437 is mediated by retinoic acid receptors (2000)

Retinoids have great promise in the area of cancer therapy and chemoprevention. These natural and synthetic derivatives of vitamin A have been shown to play an important role in regulating cell differentiation and proliferation. While all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) has been demonstrated to inhibit the growth of several ovarian tumor cell lines, other ovarian carcinoma cell lines have been found to be resistant to retinoid dependent growth suppression. Interestingly, a novel synthetic retinoid, CD437 or AHPN, has been demonstrated to inhibit the growth of both ATRA-sensitive (CA-OV3) and ATRA-resistant (SK-OV3) ovarian tumor cell lines as well as to induce apoptosis. The overall goal of this research was to understand the mechanism by which AHPN/CD437 induces apoptosis in ovarian tumor cell lines. Since a number of studies have demonstrated the importance of nuclear receptors (RARs and RXRs) in mediating cellular responses to retinoids, we wished to determine the role of RARs in mediating the AHPN/CD437 response. We modulated RAR level and function by overexpressing either wild type RAR-gamma or a pan dominant negative mutant of all RAR subtypes called RAR-beta (R269Q), or through the use of an RAR-gamma antagonist, MM11253. We found that inhibition of RAR function reduced but did not eliminate induction of apoptosis in both CA-OV3 and SK-OV3 cells by AHPN/CD437. Likewise, overexpression of wild type RAR-gamma was found to increase apoptosis after treatment with AHPN/CD437. Our results suggest that in ovarian carcinomas, AHPN/CD437 induced apoptosis is mediated at least in part via an RAR pathway.
Natural Organic Matter Affects Arsenic Speciation and Sorption onto Hematite (2002)

Arsenic mobility in natural environments is controlled primarily by sorption onto metal oxide surfaces, and the extent of this sorption may be influenced strongly by the presence of other dissolved substances that interact with surfaces or with arsenic itself. Natural organic matter (NOM), a prevalent constituent of natural waters, is highly reactive toward both metals and surfaces and is thus a clear candidate to influence arsenic mobility. The objectives of this study were therefore to reveal the influences of diverse NOM samples on the sorption of arsenic onto hematite, a model metal oxide, as well as to reveal influences of arsenic on the sorption of NOM, using conditions and concentrations relevant to natural freshwater environments. Of the six NOM samples tested, four formed aqueous complexes with arsenate and arsenite. The extent of complexation varied with the NOM origin and, in particular, increased with the cationic metal (primarily Fe) content of the NOM sample. In addition, every NOM sample showed active redox behavior toward arsenic species, indicating that NOM may greatly influence redox as well as complexation speciation of arsenic in freshwater environments. When NOM and As were incubated together with hematite, NOM dramatically delayed the attainment of sorption equilibrium and diminished the extent of sorption of both arsenate and arsenite. Consistent with this result, when NOM and As were introduced sequentially, all NOM samples displaced sorbed arsenate and arsenite from hematite surfaces, and arsenic species similarly displaced sorbed NOM from hematite in significant quantities. Competition between NOM and As for sorption thus appears to be a potentially important process in natural waters, suggesting that NOM may play a greater role in arsenic mobility than previously recognized. In addition, in all sorption experiments, arsenite was consistently desorbed or prevented from sorbing to a greater extent than arsenate, indicating that interactions with NOM may also partially explain the generally greater mobility of arsenite in natural environments.

Collaborative BIM in Teaching Architectural Structures (2012)

Structure is the main ingredient of architecture. In contemporary sphere, it has acquired an independent personality, so that its own intimate aesthetic quality is highly valued. At the same time structure must obey scientific and engineering laws to be correct. The separation between these aspects in practice continued since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, when structural engineering has become a specialized field separate from architecture. This article focuses on the experiences gained in introducing Building Information Modeling (BIM) beyond the traditional design studio courses. Using BIM as a framework for teaching architectural structures, BIM tools were implemented as the primary approach for advancing other types of structural knowledge that centers on how to engage the student’s imagination and to use it no less creatively than a musician or artist producing ideas. On the other hand, structural correctness emphasizes the conceptual and quantitative engineering sciences of the structural design. The framework combines various threads of knowledge; some may seem contradictory and incompatible, to arrive at structural beauty and correctness. These threads arise from many origins - an understanding of space and human activities, engineering sciences, knowledge of the behavior of actual materials, and the construction process. The proposed framework will allow architecture and engineering students to applaud the fusion of art and scientific laws, develop deep learning, promote collaborative thinking as a core activity, improve long-term knowledge retention and cultivate professional qualities to meet the demands of today's as well as tomorrow's integrated practice requirements.

ADC: Automated Deep Compression and Acceleration with Reinforcement Learning. (2018)

Model compression is an effective technique facilitating the deployment of neural network models on mobile devices that have limited computation resources and a tight power budget. However, conventional model compression techniques use hand-crafted features and require domain experts to explore the large design space trading off model size, speed, and accuracy, which is usually sub-optimal and time-consuming. In this paper, we propose Automated Deep Compression (ADC) that leverages reinforcement learning in order to efficiently sample the design space and greatly improve the model compression quality. We achieved state-of-the-art model compression results in a fully automated way without any human efforts. Under 4x FLOPs reduction, we achieved 2.7% better accuracy than hand-crafted model compression method for VGG-16 on ImageNet. We applied this automated, push-the-button compression pipeline to MobileNet and achieved a 2x reduction in FLOPs, and a speedup of 1.49x on Titan Xp and 1.65x on an Android phone (Samsung Galaxy S7), with negligible loss of accuracy.
Wavelength-division multi/demultiplexer utilizing optically active crystals (1990)

A wavelength-division multi/demultiplexer (W-MUX/DEMUX) utilizing optically active crystals is proposed and studied. It is shown that using two or more optically active crystals having different rotary powers and dispersions is effective for providing design freedom and for easy assembly of the W-MUX/DEMUX. A design for a two-wavelength W-MUX/DEMUX is also discussed. Based on this design, a W-MUX/DEMUX that multiplexes or demultiplexes light with wavelengths of 0.8 and 1.1 mu m was fabricated. The insertion losses are 1.6 and 3.1 dB at wavelengths of 0.8 and 1.1 mu m, respectively. Crosstalk attenuation of 13 dB or more is obtained at these wavelengths.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Preparation of epitaxial metallic LaNiO3 films on SrTiO3 by metalorganic decomposition for the oriented growth of PbTiO3 (1996)

Epitaxial metallic LaNiO3 (LNO) films on SrTiO3 (STO) were prepared by metalorganic decomposition. X-ray θ–2θ scans, x-ray φ scans, and the Rutherford backscattering channeling technique were used to determine the degree of crystallinity of the films. The trend of resistance as a function of annealing temperature of LNO films on STO and Si substrates indicated that LNO films on STO have lower crystalline temperature and higher transition temperature from conductor to insulator than on Si. (001)-oriented PbTiO3 (PT) films were grown on LNO-coated STO by the sol-gel method. Scanning electron microscopy of a cross section of PT/LNO/STO showed sharp boundaries. The ferroelectric capacitor fabricated from these films displayed promising P-E hysteresis characteristics.

Consumer Information and Decisions to Switch Insurers (1993)

This article examines the interaction of various factors in an individual's decision to switch insurers. In particular, expectations about insurer quality attributes as well as search costs and switching costs are modeled as affecting the consumer's switching decision. Data from a 1983 survey of 2,004 German individuals are used to determine consumers' impressions about the quality and price of their auto insurance policies. The empirical analysis shows how consumer informedness plays a key role in the switching decision. Factors affecting consumer informedness and the sources of consumer information also are examined.
Conductometric Study of the Effect of Citric Acid on Phase Evolution of Calcium Phosphate in Solutions (2011)

The influence of citric acid on phase evolution of calcium phosphate is studied by the electrical conductivity of reaction solutions. The conductance curves are divided into three distinct regions and assigned to the formation of amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP), hydroxyapatite (HA) and the solubility of HA, respectively. When more citric acid is added, the width of region I decreases because more Ca 2+ ions would prefer to foster the nucleation of HA from ACP. Decreasing rate of conductivity in region II becomes smaller with more addition of citric acid because the supersaturation of HA decreases in solutions. And thus, HA powders with larger grain size are synthesized with more citric acid addition.
Sternal Hodgkin's disease. Report of two cases. (1988)

Hodgkin's disease of the mediastinum presented as a sternal mass in two young adults. The original biopsy materials were incorrectly interpreted as eosinophilic granuloma of bone (histiocytosis X). A delayed diagnosis (15 months) resulted in the death of one patient, whereas the other patient, whose diagnosis was made in one week, had an excellent response to therapy.
An LP-based methodology for improved timing-driven placement (2005)

A method for timing driven placement is presented. The core of the approach is optimal timing-driven relaxed placement based on a linear programming (LP) formulation. The formulation captures all topological paths in a linear sized LP and thus, heuristic net weights or net budgets are not necessary. Additionally, explicit enumeration of a large number of paths is avoided. The flow begins with a given placement and iteratively extracts timing-critical sub-circuits, optimally places the sub-circuit by LP and applies a timing-driven legalizer. The approach is applied to the FPGA domain and yields an average of 19.6% reduction in clock period of routed MCNC designs versus [6] (with reductions up to 39.5%).
Pose estimation using line-based dynamic vision and inertial sensors (2003)

An observer problem from a computer vision application is studied. Rigid body pose estimation using inertial sensors and a monocular camera is considered and it is shown how rotation estimation can be decoupled from position estimation. Orientation estimation is formulated as an observer problem with implicit output where the states evolve on SO(3). A careful observability study reveals interesting group theoretic structures tied to the underlying system structure. A locally convergent observer where the states evolve on SO (3) is proposed and numerical estimates of the domain of attraction is given. Further, it is shown that, given convergent orientation estimates, position estimation can be formulated as a linear implicit output problem. From an applications perspective, it is outlined how delayed low bandwidth visual observations and high bandwidth rate gyro measurements can provide high bandwidth estimates. This is consistent with real-time constraints due to the complementary characteristics of the sensors which are fused in a multirate way.
Co-Clustering Structural Temporal Data with Applications to Semiconductor Manufacturing (2014)

Recent years have witnessed data explosion in semiconductor manufacturing due to advances in instrumentation and storage techniques. In particular, following the same recipe for a certain IC device, multiple tools and chambers can be deployed for the production of this device, during which multiple time series can be collected, such as temperature, impedance, gas flow, electric bias, etc. These time series naturally fit into a two-dimensional array (matrix), i.e., Each element in this array corresponds to a time series for one process variable from one chamber. To leverage the rich structural information in such temporal data, in this paper, we propose a novel framework named C-Struts to simultaneously cluster on the two dimensions of this array. In this framework, we interpret the structural information as a set of constraints on the cluster membership, introduce an auxiliary probability distribution accordingly, and design an iterative algorithm to assign each time series to a certain cluster on each dimension. To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to address this problem. Extensive experiments on benchmark and manufacturing data sets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Coronary Stents — Have They Fulfilled Their Promise? (1999)

Since the introduction of coronary stents into clinical practice in the early 1990s, the number of stent implantations has increased so rapidly that stents are currently used in 60 to 70 percent of all percutaneous interventional procedures.1 Although stent implantation was initially limited to large vessels (≥3.0 mm in diameter) that had proximal, discrete lesions, improvements in stent design and technique now allow their deployment in vessels that are smaller and diffusely diseased, vessels with lesions at bifurcations, and vessels with thrombus in patients with acute myocardial infarction. This rapid growth in the use of stents has been attributed in . . .

Security of Wang-Li Threshold Signature Scheme. (2004)

Reversible protein phosphorylation is a switching mechanism used in eukaryotes to regulate various cellular signalings. In plant light signaling, sophisticated photosensory receptor systems operate to modulate growth and development. The photoreceptors include phytochromes, cryptochromes and phototropins. Despite considerable progresses in defining the photosensory roles of these photoreceptors, the primary biochemical mechanisms by which the photoreceptor molecules transduce the perceived light signals into cellular responses remain to be elucidated. The signal-transducing photoreceptors in plants are all phosphoproteins and/or protein kinases, suggesting that light-dependent protein phosphorylation and dephosphorylation play important roles in the function of the photoreceptors. This review focuses on the role of phytochromes' reversible phosphorylation involved in the light signal transduction in plants.
A new low-power pMOS poly-Si inverter for AMDs (2004)

A new low-power inverter using only p-type poly-Si thin-film transistors for the driving circuits of active matrix liquid crystal displays and active matrix organic light-emitting diodes is proposed and fabricated. The proposed pMOS inverter using capacitive coupling and bootstrapping successfully eliminated the troublesome through current and exhibited a wide output swing from V/sub DD/ to V/sub SS/ without additional signals.
Towards Patching Memory Leak Bugs in Off-The-Shelf Software (2014)

Static and dynamic analysis techniques for bug detection have significantly improved in the last decades, and are today implemented in industry-strength tools and routinely applied by developers. Nevertheless, it is still difficult to deal with bugs located in OTS software, since developers lack the source code and/or knowledge about their internals to fix these bugs. In this paper, we propose an approach for fixing memory leak bugs in OTS software, that leverages dynamic binary analysis tools to find bugs, and binary code rewriting to patch them. Patching will allow to rejuvenate OTS-based software less frequently, thus further improving the availability of applications using this approach. Future work will implement this approach in a prototype, and validate it on real memory leaks found in complex software.
Image contrast enhancement based on intensity-pair distribution (2005)

Current contrast enhancement algorithms sometimes come with undesired drawbacks, like the loss of tiny details, enhancement of image noise, occasional over-enhancement, and unnatural look of the processed images. In this paper, we propose a new approach for contrast enhancement based on the use of a so-called intensity-pair distribution. This distribution possesses both local information and global information of the image content. By analyzing the content of intensity-pair distribution, a set of expansion forces are generated for contrast enhancement while another set of anti-expansion forces are generated to suppress image noise. To avoid over-enhancement and preserve the natural look of the processed images, a magnitude mapping function is also proposed. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm does provide a flexible and reliable way for contrast enhancement.
Probability of Error for Optimal Codes in a Gaussian Channel (1959)

A study is made of coding and decoding systems for a continuous channel with an additive gaussian noise and subject to an average power limitation at the transmitter. Upper and lower bounds are found for the error probability in decoding with optimal codes and decoding systems. These bounds are close together for signaling rates near channel capacity and also for signaling rates near zero, but diverge between. Curves exhibiting these bounds are given.
