United nations open GIS initiative: The first year of activities (2017)

With the rapid evolution of open source software, it is now possible to establish an SDI (Spatial Data Infrastructure) using only open source geospatial software. The United Nations (UN) is trying to introduce open source geospatial solutions to complement, and in some cases replace, proprietary geospatial software. However, the SDI for the United Nations must address many requirements and deal with diverse data sources, complex system components, and sophisticated workflows and services. Therefore it is only natural to expect that the UN migration from proprietary software to open source geospatial software will be a long-term project and that it will include a number of challenges. In response to these challenges, the UN Open GIS Initiative was launched in 2016 through a partnership between the United Nations, member states, academia and other non-governmental organizations. The goals of the initiative are to establish an SDI and provide geospatial solutions based on open source geospatial software. In this paper, we discuss the strategies, the governance structures, and the activities of the initiative during its first year, as well as future plans.
Apparent Extension of the Atrioventricular Interval Due to Sensor‐Based Algorithm Against Supraventricuiar Tachyarrhythmias (1994)

Rapid ventricular tracking response to supraventricular tachyarrhythmia is one major limitation to DDD pacing. In a DDDR pacemaker, sensor-based algorithms have been used to control these arrhythmias. These include the use of an interim rate limit (conditional ventricular tracking limit) or a separate maximum tracking and sensor rate limits (discrepant upper rate). These algorithms limit inappropriate ventricular pacing rate during tracking of pathological supraventricular tachyarrhythmia and atrial flutter by Wenckebach-like prolongation of the AV interval. We observed that this may cause an unexpected extension of the AV interval in patients with high atrial rate and intact AV nodal conduction. This was due to P wave rate above the conditional ventricular tracking limit or maximum tracking limit, but AV paced interval prolongation was avoided by the occurrence of intrinsic conduction, albeit at an AV interval longer than the programmed AV interval. This might appear as failure of ventricular pacing on the ECG. This phenomenon is a modified form of "upper rate" behavior occurring in the AV interval, and should be recognized as a normal behavior rather than pacemaker malfunction.
PowerForms: Declarative Client-Side Form Field Validation (2000)

All uses of HTML forms may benefit from validation of the specified<br />input field values. Simple validation matches individual values against specified formats, while more advanced validation may involve interdependencies of form fields.<br />There is currently no standard for specifying or implementing such validation. Today, CGI programmers often use Perl libraries for simple server-side validation or program customized JavaScript solutions for client-side validation.<br />We present PowerForms, which is an add-on to HTML forms that<br />allows a purely declarative specification of input formats and sophisticated interdependencies of form fields. While our work may be seen as inspiration for a future extension of HTML, it is also available for CGI programmers today through a preprocessor that translates a PowerForms<br />document into a combination of standard HTML and JavaScript that works on all combinations of platforms and browsers.<br />The definitions of PowerForms formats are syntactically disjoint from the form itself, which allows a modular development where the form is perhaps automatically generated by other tools and the formats and interdependencies are added separately.<br />PowerForms has a clean semantics defined through a fixed-point process that resolves the interdependencies between all field values. Text fields are equipped with status icons (by default traffic lights) that continuously reflect the validity of the text that has been entered so far, thus providing immediate feed-back for the user. For other GUI components the available options are dynamically filtered to present only the allowed values. PowerForms are integrated into the <bigwig> system for generating interactive Web services, but is also freely available in an Open Source distribution as a stand-alone package.
Increased mucosal tumour necrosis factor α production in Crohn’s disease can be downregulated ex vivo by probiotic bacteria (2002)

Probiotics interact with immunocompetent cells using the mucosal interface and modulate locally the production of proinflammatory cytokines.
DYE BINDING PROCEDURE FOR THE ESTIMATION OF PROTEIN CONTENT OF MEAT COMPONENTS AND SAUSAGE EMULSIONS (1979)

ABSTRACT The dye binding technique was investigated for its ability to determine the protein content in a processed meat product. Frankfurter emulsions were prepared with varying protein content by adjusting the fat content of the emulsions. The unprocessed (raw) emulsion and the processed (cooked, smoked) emulsion were tested with the dye binding technique using Acid Orange 12 (C.I. 15870). In both the processed and in processed emulsion products it was found that the bound dye parameter alone could be used to monitor the protein content. A regression equation containing two variables, the reciprocal of the dye binding capacity and the bound dye, would account for over 90% of the variation in the protein content of a processed emulsion product.
Bone Morphogenetic Proteins, Extracellular Matrix, and Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Signaling Pathways Are Required for Osteoblast-Specific Gene Expression and Differentiation in MC3T3-E1 Cells (2002)

Osteoblasts secrete a complex extracellular matrix (ECM) containing collagenous and noncollagenous proteins, bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), and growth factors. Osteoblast-specific gene expression requires ascorbic acid (AA)-dependent assembly of a collagenous ECM. Matrix responsiveness requires an alpha2beta1 integrin-collagen interaction and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activity, which phosphorylates and activates the osteoblast-specific transcription factor Cbfa1. This study examines interactions between this integrin/MAPK-mediated pathway and signals initiated by BMPs contained in the osteoblast matrix. MC3T3-E1 cells were shown to constitutively express BMP-2, BMP-4, and BMP-7. Noggin, a specific BMP inhibitor, reversibly blocked AA-induced gene expression, indicating that BMP production by MC3T3-E1 cells was necessary for differentiation. The ability of exogenously added BMP-2, BMP-4, or BMP-7 to stimulate osteocalcin (OCN) and bone sialoprotein (BSP) mRNAs or OCN promoter activity was synergistically increased in cells that were actively synthesizing an ECM (i.e., were grown in the presence of AA). A minimum of 4 days of ECM accumulation was required for this synergistic response to be observed. Neither BMP-7, AA, nor a combination of these two treatments had major effects on Cbfa1 messenger RNA (mRNA) or protein levels, as would be expected if regulation was mainly at the posttranscriptional level. U0126, a specific inhibitor of MAPK/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (MEK), blocked AA- or BMP-7/AA-dependent gene expression in a time- and dose-dependent manner that was closely correlated with inhibition of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) phosphorylation. This work establishes that autocrine BMP production as well as integrin-mediated cell-collagen interactions are both required for osteoblast differentiation, and both these pathways require MAP kinase activity.
Cereal‐ and Root Starch Modification by Heat‐Moisture Treatment. I. Physico‐Chemical Properties (1982)

Abstract Effects of heat‐moisture treatment of varied severity on physicochemical parameters of three cereals (barley, triticale and red millet) and two tuber starches (arrowroot, cassava) were studied. The treatment produced restriction in swelling powers of all tested starches; solubilities of cereal starches increased while those of the tuber starches were reduced at 90°C, indicating different types of reorganization of the starch polymers in the two types of granules; enzyme susceptibilities and water‐binding capacities were augmented by the treatment. X‐ray diffraction studies showed decreases in degree of crystallinity of cereal starches and changes of C‐pattern to A‐pattern of tuber starches by the treatment. Effects on pasting properties are also given.
An Iteration-Free MoM Approach Based on Excitation Independent Characteristic Basis Functions for Solving Large Multiscale Electromagnetic Scattering Problems (2008)

We describe a numerically efficient strategy for solving a linear system of equations arising in the Method of Moments for solving electromagnetic scattering problems. This novel approach, termed as the characteristic basis function method (CBFM), is based on utilizing characteristic basis functions (CBFs)-special functions defined on macro domains (blocks)-that include a relatively large number of conventional sub-domains discretized by using triangular or rectangular patches. Use of these basis functions leads to a significant reduction in the number of unknowns, and results in a substantial size reduction of the MoM matrix; this, in turn, enables us to handle the reduced matrix by using a direct solver, without the need to iterate. In addition, the paper shows that the CBFs can be generated by using a sparse representation of the impedance matrix-resulting in lower computational cost-and that, in contrast to the iterative techniques, multiple excitations can be handled with only a small overhead. Another important attribute of the CBFM is that it is readily parallelized. Numerical results that demonstrate the accuracy and time efficiency of the CBFM for several representative scattering problems are included in the paper.
Introduction to Flow Cytometry (1991)

Flow cytometry is a technique for measuring both scattered light and fluorescence from single cells at very rapid rates. Typically up to 5000 cells can be analysed per second. Using various fluorochromes this allows a cell population to be analysed for cells showing certain characteristics such as the presence of a particular enzyme, cellular constituent or other gene product. The information it can provide is invaluable in helping to diagnose certain cancers as well as aiding pure research into many aspects of cell biology such as the cell cycle and gene expression. This book describes the technology in a simple and direct way. The fundamental concepts upon which the technology is based are outlined and the book goes on to describe flow cytometers and what can be gained from using them in biology and medicine. The book gives a particularly detailed account of how artifactual results can arise and where 'noise' is generated. Anyone starting to use, or already using this technique, will need to read this book.
Notification Protocol of Sensing Information in Cognitive Radio System (2007)

In recent years, the cognitive radio (CR) has been receiving a great attention to overcome spectrum scarcity. Up to now, many authors have proposed CR core technologies such as protocols, spectrum sharing method and sensing techniques. In this paper, we focus on notification protocol to exchange sensing information in the network. Since every node in CR network should send its sensing results to the gathering center, it takes long time to complete the notification process. So, in this paper, we design new notification protocol to minimize the number of notifications. It operates dynamically in accordance with prior informed reporting data. We demonstrate its superiority by Monte Carlo simulation.

The IDF definition would fail to identify a portion of people who have more than three MS component disorders but a small waistline. Further research and discussion are needed on whether and how to implement the IDF's definition.
Reduction of Computing Time in Aircraft Control by Delta Operating Singular Perturbation Technique (2003)

본 논문에서는 먼저 델타연산자 접근법과 섭동기법을 소개하였다. 전자는 수치연산에 있어서 round-off error를 줄여주고 후자는 시스템을 빠른 종속시스템과 느린 종속시스템으로 분리하여 연산시간을 줄여준다. 항공기의 동력학은 종방향 혹은 횡방향 모두 장주기(Phugoid)와 단주기 운동을 동시에 보여준다. 여기서는 경비행기 Beaver의 횡방향 모델에 섬동기법과 델타접슨법을 적용하여 얻는 근사치 해를 정확한 해와 비교하였다. 그 겨로가 개루프 시스템의 경우는 단 한번의 iteration을 시행하여 얻은 근사치 해가 정확한 해와 일치했고, 페루프 시스템의 경우는 iteration없이도 근사치 값이 정확한 해와 일치하였다. 이로써 제안된 방법들의 적용이 항공기 동력학 및 제어에 있어서 매우 유효함이 검증되었다. The delta operator approach and the singular perturbation technique are introduced. The former reduces the round-off error in the numerical computation. The latter reduces computing time by decoupling the original system into the fast and slow sub-systems. The aircraft dynamics consists of the Phugoid and short-period motions whether its model is longitudinal or lateral. In this paper, an approximated solutions of lateral dynamic model of Beaver obtained by using those two methods in compared with the exact solution. For open-loop system and closed-loop system, and approximated solution gets identical to the exact solution with only one iteration and without iteration, respectively. Therefore, it is shown that implementing those approaches is very effective in the flight dynamic and control.
Fabrication and characteristics of scaled SONOSFET nonvolatile memory devices for full-featured EEPROMs (2002)

Scaled SONOSFET nonvolatile memory devices were designed and fabricated using the n-well CMOS process technology with 1.5 /spl mu/m design rule in order to investigate the characteristics of scale-down devices. The ONO gate insulator of fabricated SONOSFETs were formed with a 18 /spl Aring/ tunneling oxide, 38 /spl Aring/ nitride and 37 /spl Aring/ blocking oxide. Memory window of 1.9 V was obtained with write pulse of +7 V, 2 sec and erase pulse of -7 V, 2 sec, and 1 V with /spl plusmn/7 V, 50 msec. Data retention after programming was achieved over 10 years.
Low Resource Text Classification with ULMFit and Backtranslation (2019)

In computer vision, virtually every state-of-the-art deep learning system is trained with data augmentation. In text classification, however, data augmentation is less widely practiced because it must be performed before training and risks introducing label noise. We augment the IMDB movie reviews dataset with examples generated by two families of techniques: random token perturbations introduced by Wei and Zou [2019] and backtranslation -- translating to a second language then back to English. In low resource environments, backtranslation generates significant improvement on top of the state of-the-art ULMFit model. A ULMFit model pretrained on wikitext103 and then fine-tuned on only 50 IMDB examples and 500 synthetic examples generated by backtranslation achieves 80.6% accuracy, an 8.1% improvement over the augmentation-free baseline with only 9 minutes of additional training time. Random token perturbations do not yield any improvements but incur equivalent computational cost. The benefits of training with backtranslated examples decreases with the size of the available training data. On the full dataset, neither augmentation technique improves upon ULMFit's state of the art performance. We address this by using backtranslations as a form of test time augmentation as well as ensembling ULMFit with other models, and achieve small improvements.
FORMULATION AND EVALUATION OF GEL LOADED WITH MICROSPHERES OF APREMILAST FOR TRANSDERMAL DELIVERY SYSTEM (2019)

Objective: The main objective of the present research work was to formulate and evaluate gel loaded with microspheres of apremilast to increase bioavailability and to reduce the dosing frequency and to improve patient compliance. Methods: Gel loaded with microspheres of apremilast was prepared by solvent evaporation method by taking different ratios of polymers. Ethyl cellulose as a polymer, dichloromethane solvent is used as drug solubility, polyvinyl alcohol as a surfactant, and sodium alginate is used as gelling agent. Prepared gel loaded with microspheres was evaluated for drug interactions by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry studies, and surface morphology by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), to select effective one among all formulations. The prepared formulations (F1–F6) were evaluated for pre-formulation studies, spreadability, viscosity, pH measurement, gel strength, homogeneity, drug content, in vitro diffusion studies, drug kinetics, and finally for stability studies. Results: Differential scanning calorimeter studies confirmed that there is no drug interaction between drug and excipients. FTIR spectroscopy studies confirmed that there is compatibility between drug and excipients. Regular and spherical shape particles with smooth surface were observed in the SEM photographs. The optimized gel loaded with microspheres of F4 formulation (drug: polymer in 1:4 ratio) is more effective compared to all formulations. The prepared gel showed acceptable physical properties such as spreadability (5.86±0.54 g.cm/s), viscosity (568 cps), pH (6.33±0.55), gel strength (38 s) and drug content (90.00±0.71%). In vitro diffusion studies have shown 80.1±1.92% drug release in 10 h. Drug kinetics follows zero order kinetics and n value was found to be 0.721. Stability studies were done for 3 months. Conclusion: All the results show that the gel loaded with microspheres of apremilast can be effectively used for the treatment of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.
A model for a rider-motorcycle system using fuzzy control (1993)

A rider-motorcycle system is a representative man-machine system in view of the major role that the rider plays in determining the performance of the integrated system. The handling property of motorcycles influences safety during riding. In the study, a motorcycle model subjected to fuzzy control representing rider's perception and action is investigated to facilitate motorcycle design. A mathematical model of three-dimensional (3D) multibody dynamics is constructed, which accounts for not only motorcycle structures but also the rider's posture change. The fuzzy controller based on control rules and fuzzy reasoning methods plays the role of the rider in a rider-motorcycle system. The fuzzy control is facilitated by the construction of look-up tables. A rider-motorcycle system undergoing circular motion is simulated. The study provides a viable means for computer-aided design of a representative man-machine control system.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
A survey of cross-lingual embedding models. (2017)

Cross-lingual representations of words enable us to reason about word meaning in multilingual contexts and are a key facilitator of cross-lingual transfer when developing natural language processing models for low-resource languages. In this survey, we provide a comprehensive typology of cross-lingual word embedding models. We compare their data requirements and objective functions. The recurring theme of the survey is that many of the models presented in the literature optimize for the same objectives, and that seemingly different models are often equivalent modulo optimization strategies, hyper-parameters, and such. We also discuss the different ways cross-lingual word embeddings are evaluated, as well as future challenges and research horizons.
Diritti culturali, patrimonializzazione, sostenibilità (2015)

<div> <p>The path that has characterized the claim of ‘cultural rights’, and has given them content and meaning, is complex. Over time, the set of regulatory instruments has significantly grown, in parallel with important changes in the ways in which culture and cultural practices, their meaning and value, have been conceived. This has happened in the more general frame of political, social, and economic changes at a global level. The evolution of the rules, and of their interpretation and application, a ects the possibilities of action, leading to reconsider the actors, processes, resources involved together in the creation of the conditions for the recognition, pro- motion and guarantee of cultural rights. Taking into account that the right ‘freely to participate in the cultural life of the community’ has taken manifold contents, particularly as regard to the concepts of ‘culture’, ‘participation’, ‘community’, the need to deepen the relationship of this cat- egory of rights with the processes of patrimonialisation and with the conditions of sustainability emerges. In fact, what is acknowledged as deserving of protection and transmission to future generations, is always drawn from a selection process. That is a ected, on the one hand, by the aim of preserving identity and memory and, on the other, by the contribution that the heritage of cultural expressions can give, now and in the future, to the social and economic development of communities. Entitlements and responsibilities are increasingly becoming both diversified and intertwined, at international, national, local level, down to the individual, opening up to di erent forms of governance and of acquisition and development of the necessary resources, without which the e ective exercise of the rights to culture remains only on paper. </p> </div>
Windowed Bernoulli Mixture HMMs for Arabic Handwritten Word Recognition (2010)

Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) are now widely used in off-line handwriting recognition and, in particular, in Arabic handwritten word recognition. In contrast to the conventional approach, based on Gaussian mixture HMMs, we have recently proposed to directly fed columns of raw, binary pixels into Bernoulli mixture HMMs. In this work, column bit vectors are extended by means of a sliding window of adequate width to better capture image context at each horizontal position of the word image. Using these windowed Bernoulli mixture HMMs, very good results are reported on the well-known IfN/ENIT database of Arabic handwritten Tunisian town names.
저전력 1차 명령어 캐쉬를 위한 명령어 흐름 기반 이른 웨이 결정 기법 (2016)

Recent embedded processors employ set-associative L1 instruction cache to improve the performance. The energy consumption in the set-associative L1 instruction cache accounts for considerable portion in the embedded processor. When an instruction is required from the processor, all ways in the set-associative instruction cache are accessed in parallel. In this paper, we propose the technique to reduce the energy consumption in the set-associative L1 instruction cache effectively by accessing only one way. Gshare branch predictor is employed to predict the instruction flow and determine the way to fetch the instruction. When the branch prediction is untaken, next instruction in a sequential order can be fetched from the instruction cache by accessing only one way. According to our simulations with SPEC2006 benchmarks, the proposed technique requires negligible hardware overhead and shows 20% energy reduction on average in 4-way L1 instruction cache.
