UUT Explorer: Shop Replaceable Unit (SRU) graphical display application (2008)

This paper provides an overview of the requirements and capabilities of the UUT Explorer Test Program Set (TPS) utility application designed for use when testing Shop Replaceable Units (SRUs) on the Versatile Depot Automatic Test Station (VDATS). The requirement for creation of the UUT Explorer application was driven by a need to standardize the interface for the VDATS operators while simplifying the process of TPS development and SRU testing. During SRU testing, the UUT Explorer application allows the TPS developer to dynamically display a graphical representation of the board with graphic information that correlates to the current test activity and physical view of the SRU. The graphical representation supports highlighting a particular component in several useful ways. In a ldquozoomed-outrdquo view, the operator is provided with component location information relative to other SRU components. In a ldquozoomed-inrdquo view, the operator is provided with component orientation and pin location information. UUT Explorer is written using National Instruments LabWindows / CVI and consists of three utilities: a board layout application, a custom component creation application, and the TPS Dynamic Link Library (DLL). The board layout utility is used by the TPS developer to create the board display file. The custom component creation utility is used by the TPS developer to generate any components that are not available in the standard libraries. The TPS DLL is used by the TPS developer to display the SRU graphically on the screen. By using UUT Explorer, the VDATS is better able to capitalize on the core tester concept by increasing the quality of the common tools available to the TPS developers and by creating a common interface for SRU component and pin location for the test station operators.
Studies on the Adsorption of Diphtheria Toxin to and Elution from Magnesium Hydroxide (1932)

Summary An improvement on the purification of diphtheria toxin by adsorption to colloidal magnesium is reported. Whereas, the original toxic broth contained 37 mgm. of dried materials per gram the purified toxin contained only 0.17 mgm. of total solids per gram. The raw toxin gave 3.4 antigenic units per cubic centimeter. Neither the purified toxin, nor its filtrate or a mixture of the two, although each contained about 32 antigenic units per cubic centimeter, were capable of immunizing rabbits and guinea pigs. “Le pouvoir antigène intrinsèque” of Ramon (the neutralizing power of the toxin toward antitoxin as determined by the flocculation method) being the true indicator of antigenicity does not hold for a toxin purified by adsorption to colloidal magnesium.
Cryptococcal polysaccharides induce L-selectin shedding and tumor necrosis factor receptor loss from the surface of human neutrophils. (1996)

High titers of cryptococcal polysaccharides in the serum and spinal fluid and the lack of cellular infiltrates in the infected tissues are hallmarks of disseminated cryptococcosis. Cryptococcal polysaccharides given intravenously to mice inhibit the influx of leukocytes into sites injected with inflammatory mediators. The purpose of this investigation was to determine if cryptococcal polysaccharides, i.e., glucuronoxylomannan (GXM), galactoxylomannan, and mannoprotein, affect expression of molecules on the surface of neutrophils that are important in extravasation. GXM in the absence of serum was shown to induce human neurophils to shed L-selectin, a molecule needed in the first step of neutrophil movement into tissues. In the presence of serum, GXM caused a further shedding of L-selectin. Shedding of L-selectin was evident by reduced amounts of L-selectin on the neutrophils treated with GXM and by increased levels of soluble L-selectin in the GXM-treated neutrophil supernatants. GXM also stimulated neutrophils to have reduced expression of TNF receptor. In contrast, GXM-treated neutrophils showed increased levels of CD15 and CD11b, and unchanged CD16 expression. In the absence of serum, galactoxylomannan and mannoprotein did not affect L-selectin, TNF receptor, CD15, CD11b, or CD16 on neutrophils but did induce loss of L-selectin in the presence of serum. Our results indicate that cryptococcal polysaccharides, especially GXM, can cause shedding of L-selectin from the surface of neutrophils, and this may prevent neutrophils from attaching to the endothelial cell surfaces. Blockage of this early step in cell migration from the vessels into tissues may be responsible in part for reduced cellular infiltration into infected tissues of individuals with disseminated cryptococcosis.

An IOT Based ATM Surveillance System (2017)

In the present scenario, majority of the population uses the ATM machine to withdraw cash. At the same time, there are many ATM robberies that have occurred in many areas, even if the CCTV cameras are placed in the ATM center. Hence the security system needs to be changed. In order to reduce these kinds of robberies, we present a security system for ATM theft by using a smart and effective technology. This system also analyses various physical attacks on ATM's. In our proposed system we use Face Recognizing Camera to capture the face of the person, who is entering. Tilt and vibration sensors are used to detect the irregular activities that are done on the ATM machine. The purpose of the Temperature sensor is to determine the degree of temperature present in the ATM booth. The main aim of our proposed system is to send an alert through social media's like Facebook, twitter, and Gmail using IOT and GSM network. Liquidator chloroform is used to spread the chloroform to make the thief unconscious. This system caters realistic monitoring and control.

The aid trade - international assistance as pathways for the introduction of invasive alien species : a preliminary report (2006)

It is now recognized that invasive alien species (IAS) pose a major threat to agricultural and natural ecosystems, and to human health and livelihoods. These non-native species, which are accidentally or intentionally introduced into new areas, range from microbes to mammals. This report examines the precise origins of many existing IAS problems, particularly in the developing world, which remain poorly understood. This complicates assessments of the relative importance of different vectors and pathways for IAS introductions, and the prediction of future risks. International assistance programs can facilitate both deliberate, and unintentional IAS introductions. Such misjudgments and accidents are costly; indeed, their negative effects may be far greater, and more long-lasting than the positive impacts of the aid programs from which they arose. It is thus suggested that knowing how, and from where, IAS are being introduced are important first steps in the development of effective prevention and early detection schemes. An urgent, and fuller, assessment is needed on the nature and severity of IAS threats associated with international assistance programs. Particular attention needs to be paid to vectors and pathways of movement. Part of the focus should be on case studies, in order to elucidate more fully constraints in relation to existing prevention schemes. Nonetheless, some actions should be considered in advance, including awareness raising to aid agencies, and promoting the development of voluntary codes of conduct, and risk assessments.
Realizing Low-Cost Flash Memory Based Video Caching in Content Delivery Systems (2016)

To implement caching devices in content delivery systems, flash memory is preferable to hard disk drives from the performance perspective. Nevertheless, the higher bit cost of flash memory is one major obstacle for the wide real-life deployment of flash-based video caching. This paper presents a set of design solutions to address this cost issue. First, we present a flash memory error tolerance design strategy customized for video data storage, which can enable the use of lower-cost less-reliable flash memory chips for video storage. The cost challenge can also be addressed by reducing the video storage footprint through on-the-fly transcoding. However, direct transcoding suffers from a high implementation cost. We propose two design techniques that can largely reduce the transcoding complexity at minimal storage overhead in flash memory. All the developed design solutions share the common feature of cohesively exploring the characteristics of video coding and flash memory device physics. Their effectiveness has been well demonstrated through experiments with 20-nm MLC NAND flash memory chips and extensive simulations with representative video sequences.
TIME-DEPENDENT DENSITY FUNCTIONAL THEORY (2004)

Time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) can be viewed as an exact reformulation of time-dependent quantum mechanics, where the fundamental variable is no longer the many-body wave function but the density. This time-dependent density is determined by solving an auxiliary set of noninteracting Schrodinger equations, the Kohn-Sham equations. The nontrivial part of the many-body interaction is contained in the so-called exchange-correlation potential, for which reasonably good approximations exist. Within TDDFT two regimes can be distinguished: (a) If the external time-dependent potential is "small," the complete numerical solution of the time-dependent Kohn-Sham equations can be avoided by the use of linear response theory. This is the case, e.g., for the calculation of photoabsorption spectra. (b) For a "strong" external potential, a full solution of the time-dependent Kohn-Sham equations is in order. This situation is encountered, for instance, when matter interacts with intense laser fields. In this review we give an overview of TDDFT from its theoretical foundations to several applications both in the linear and in the nonlinear regime.
Position Paper: Diagnosis of Periodontal Diseases (2003)

At the present time, the diagnosis and classification of periodontal diseases are almost entirely based on traditional clinical assessments. Supplemental quantitative and qualitative assessments of the gingival crevicular fluid and subgingival microflora can potentially provide useful information about the patient's periodontal disease. In certain situations, these supplemental risk-assessment tests may be particularly valuable in establishing the endpoint of therapy prior to placing patients on a periodontal maintenance program. Although the clinical utility of none of these tests has been validated, their further development is warranted. A genetic test for susceptibility to periodontitis has become commercially available. How best to use this and future host-based tests in clinical practice remains to be determined. Probing depth and clinical attachment loss measurements obtained with periodontal probes are practical and valid methods for assessing periodontal status. Computer-linked, controlled-force electronic periodontal probes are commercially available and are currently in use by some practitioners. Many of the logistical problems associated with subtraction radiography are being overcome and this powerful diagnostic tool may soon come into widespread use. Future developments in this and other imaging techniques are likely to have a profound effect on our approach to the diagnosis of periodontal diseases.
Improved prognosis of infants mechanically ventilated for hyaline membrane disease (1974)

The results of mechanical ventilation for severe hyaline membrane disease (HMD), and the changes in technique which took place, during the 6-year period 1967-72 are described. A pilot study of the effect of hydrocortisone among the most severely affected infants showed no benefit. After the introduction at the beginning of 1970 of a regimen for ventilating the infants at low peak airway pressures, slow respiratory frequencies, and high inspiration: expiration ratios, there was a sudden increase in survival rate which was largely accounted for by a reduction in the incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Evidence is presented that in infants with HMD mechanical factors are more important than oxygen toxicity in the pathogenesis of this condition.
Fault-tolerant broadcasting and gossiping in communication networks (1996)

Broadcasting and gossiping are fundamental tasks in network communication. In broadcasting, or one-to-all communication, information originally held in one node of the network (called the source) must be transmitted to all other nodes. In gossiping, or all-to-all communication, every node holds a message which has to be transmitted to all other nodes. As communication networks grow in size, they become increasingly vulnerable to component failures. Thus, capabilities for fault-tolerant broadcasting and gossiping gain importance. The present paper is a survey of the fast-growing area of research investigating these capabilities. We focus on two most important efficiency measures of broadcasting and gossiping algorithms: running time and number of elementary transmissions required by the communication process. We emphasize the unifying thread in most results from the research in fault-tolerant communication: the trade-offs between efficiency of communication schemes and their fault-tolerance. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
Nonlinear features of guided wave scattering from rivet hole nucleated fatigue cracks considering the rough contact surface condition (2018)

This article presents the investigation of nonlinear scattering features of guided waves from rivet hole nucleated fatigue cracks considering the rough contact surface condition.A small-size numerical model based on the local interaction simulation approach is developed, enabling the efficient analysis of the contact acoustic nonlinearity during the wave crack interactions.The study starts with an idealized breathing crack model possessing smooth, perfectly kissing contact surfaces.Then, the nature of rough crack surfaces is considered with randomly distributed initial openings and closures.Several distinctive aspects of the nonlinear scattering phenomenon are discussed: (1) the amplitude effect, which renders significantly different nonlinear response under various levels of excitation wave amplitudes; (2) the directivity and mode conversion features, which addresses the scattering direction dependence of the fundamental and superharmonic wave mode components; (3) the nonlinear resonance phenomenon, which maximizes the nonlinear response during the wave crack interactions at certain excitation frequency ranges.This study demonstrates that these nonlinear features are substantially influenced by the crack surface condition and differ much between an idealized breathing crack and a rough crack in most practical cases.Fatigue tests on a thin aluminum plate with a rivet hole is conducted to induce cracks in the specimen.An active sensor array surrounding the crack zone is implemented to generate and receive ultrasonic guided waves in various directions.Current work emphasizes on using a highly efficient numerical model to explain the nonlinear features of scattered waves from fatigue cracks considering the rough crack surface condition.These special features may provide insights and guidelines for nonlinear guided wave based nondestructive evaluation and structural health monitoring system design.The paper finishes with discussion, concluding remarks, and suggestions for future work.
An efficient relative placement algorithm for custom chip design (2002)

An efficient relative placement model derived from probability space by using circle model is described. Each block is represented by a circle. The size of circle is proportional to the size of the block. Both size effect and connectivity effect are considered simultaneously. The model attains a low polynomial time complexity O(kn/sup 2/) without loss of global perspective, where k is a constant and depends on the accuracy the placement required. As expected, the wire length of the model is shorter than that of point model.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 as a Treatment Option for Type 2 Diabetes and Its Role in Restoring Beta-Cell Mass (2005)

The "incretin effect" describes the enhanced insulin response from orally ingested glucose compared with intravenous glucose leading to identical postprandial plasma glucose excursions. It makes up to 60% of the postprandial insulin secretion but is diminished in type 2 diabetes. Gastrointestinal hormones promoting the incretin effect are called incretins. Glucagon-like peptide- 1 (GLP-1) is an important incretin. In vitro and animal data have demonstrated that GLP-1 increases beta-cell mass by stimulating islet cell neogenesis and by inhibiting apoptosis of islets. The improvement of beta-cell function can be indirectly observed from the increased insulin secretory capacity of humans receiving GLP-1 or incretin mimetics that act like GLP-1. Furthermore, GLP-1 inhibits glucagon secretion and rarely causes hypoglycemia. It may represent an attractive therapeutic method for type 2 diabetes because of its multiple effects, including a slowing of gastric emptying and the simulation of satiety by acting as a transmitter in the CNS. Native GLP-1 is degraded rapidly upon intravenous or subcutaneous administration and is therefore not feasable for routine therapy. Long-acting GLP-1 analogs (e.g., Liraglutide [Novo Nordisk, Copenhagen, Denmark]) and exenadin-4 (Exenatide [Eli Lilly, Indianapolis, IN]) that are resistant to degradation, called "incretin mimetics," are being investigated in clinical trials. Dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitors (e.g., Vildagliptin [Novartis, Basel, Switzerland]) that inhibit the enzyme responsible for incretin degradation are also under study.
A review of DMIC memorandum 215, "Titanium, 1966" (September 1, 1966) (1967)

The publication under review, "Titanium, 1966" (issued on September 1, 1966, as Memorandum 215 by the Defense Metals Information Center, Battelle Memorial Institute, Columbus 1, Ohio), is a collection of fourteen lectures that were presented at a Titanium Symposium held at Hawthorne, Calif. , on March 28-29, 1966, under the sponsorship of the Norair Division of the Northrop Corporation. The primary objective of the symposium was to provide technical personnel of diversified disciplines with a working knowledge of titanium technology. The papers were designed to be of value to a non-metallurgical technical audience as well as to those familiar with titanium technology. The secondary objective was to emphasize the need for the utilization of all required support technologies, such as materials, manufacturing, quality control, and so forth, early in the conceptional design state rather than piecemeal after the design has been formalized.
Matrix Multiplication and Fast Fourier Transforms (1968)

Factoring a matrix and multiplying successively by the factors can sometimes be used to speed up matrix multiplications. This is, in fact, the trick which creates the fantastic gains of the fast Fourier transform.
Development of Step-Based Dimensioning and Tolerancing Data Model (1996)

Abstract STEP product model is an effort to develop an international product modeling standard by the International Standards Organization (ISO). The product model involves both working standard and information models. As product accuracy becomes tighter, dimensioning and tolerancing (D&T) plays an important role in product lifecycle. It is an important issue to develop a D&T data model based on STEP. This paper describes the development of a STEP-based D&T data model. Required information to build a STEP-based D&T scheme is investigated. Implementation of such a data model and construction of a product D&T specifications based on the model are then described. Three examples, including a single part with an interface for tolerance analysis application and an assembled product, are used to illustrate the usage of the data model.
Code-based Ring Signature Scheme (2007)

McEliece is one of the oldest known public key cryptosystems, however it was not quite as successful as RSA. One main reason is that it is widely believed that code-based cryptosystems like McEliece do not allow practical digital signatures. Although X.M. Wang presented a code-based signature scheme in 1990, some authors find that it is not secure. Recently, T.Courtois et al. show a new way to build a practical signature scheme based on coding theory (simply, Courtois et al.s scheme). The security is reduced to the well-known syndrome decoding problem and the distinguishability of permuted binary Goppa codes from a random code. This shows that error correct codes can be used to construct some other cryptosystems. In this paper, we present, for the first time, a code-based ring signature scheme with signature length of 144+126l bits (l is the number of ring members), which is one of the most short ring signature among all the presented ring signature schemes up to now.
