Refugee Fox Settlements among the Senecas (1956)

An east-to-west movement of Indian groups in the face of English settlement was so general that movements in other directions are in some danger of being disregarded or thought of as irregular and unaccountable. Nevertheless, the south-to-north movement of several eastern groups is rather well known, these groups including some Shawnee bands which entered Pennsylvania from the south, as well as Tuscarora, Tutelo, Nanticoke, and Conoy migrants. These movements were made possible by the relative stability of the League of the Iroquois, and were encouraged by the League's willingness to recruit its strength from needy outsiders. Iroquois strength and purposeful hospitality must also be considered when we turn to the less numerous instances of west-toeast movements in the colonial period. The best known and best documented of these undoubtedly is the removal of a Shawnee band from the Ohio to the upper Delaware in the 1690's. Miami raids into the Susquehanna area before and after 1700 resulted in no known settlements, however; and the removal of Nicholas' band of Wyandots from Sandusky into the western edge of present Pennsylvania in 1747-8 was a minor episode. On the other hand, the Fox refugees who settled among the Senecas in the early eighteenth century became permanent residents, gradually absorbed by the Senecas but preserving their identity in some measure until the end of the century. The occasion for this Fox removal to the east was a severe defeat suffered in the winter of 1711-2 at the hands of Wyandots and Ottawas, encouraged by the French commander at Detroit.' In June, 1712, the Governor General of Canada was informed that of
Writer Adaptation with Style Transfer Mapping (2012)

Adapting a writer-independent classifier toward the unique handwriting style of a particular writer has the potential to significantly increase accuracy for personalized handwriting recognition. This paper proposes a novel framework of style transfer mapping (STM) for writer adaptation. The STM is a writer-specific class-independent feature transformation which has a closed-form solution. After style transfer mapping, the data of different writers are projected onto a style-free space, where the writer-independent classifier needs no change to classify the transformed data and can achieve significantly higher accuracy. The framework of STM can be combined with different types of classifiers for supervised, unsupervised, and semi-supervised adaptation, where writer-specific data can be either labeled or unlabeled and need not cover all classes. In this paper, we combine STM with the state-of-the-art classifiers for large-category Chinese handwriting recognition: learning vector quantization (LVQ) and modified quadratic discriminant function (MQDF). Experiments on the online Chinese handwriting database CASIA-OLHWDB demonstrate that STM-based adaptation is very efficient and effective in improving classification accuracy. Semi-supervised adaptation achieves the best performance, while unsupervised adaptation is even better than supervised adaptation. On handwritten text data, semi-supervised adaptation achieves error reduction rates 31.95 and 25.00 percent by LVQ and MQDF, respectively.
The Inheritance and Influence of a Dominant Chlorophyll Deficient Character in Wheat<sup>1</sup> (1957)

Synopsis A chlorophyll deficient character, inherited as a simple dominant, reduced yield, height, and 1,000‐kernel weight in segregates from a cross with Yorkwin winter wheat. Reductions which were statistically significant were approximately 13% for yield, 4% for height, and 5% for 1,000‐kernel weight.
Expression of GLUT1 gene in breast cancer cell lines MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231. (2003)

In our studies we showed differences in GLUT1 receptor mRNA expression in two breast cancer cell lines with higher expression in MDA-MB-231. The results show that invasiveness of cancer cells may be to some extent associated with the expression of glucose transporters, including GLUT1.
Audio–visual domain adaptation using conditional semi-supervised Generative Adversarial Networks (2019)

Accessing large, manually annotated audio databases in an effort to create robust models for emotion recognition is a notably difficult task, handicapped by the annotation cost and label ambiguities. On the contrary, there are plenty of publicly available datasets for emotion recognition which are based on facial expressivity due to the prevailing role of computer vision in deep learning research, nowadays. Thereby, in the current work, we performed a study on cross-modal transfer knowledge between audio and facial modalities within the emotional context. More concretely, we investigated whether facial information from videos could be used to boost the awareness and the prediction tracking of emotions in audio signals. Our approach was based on a simple hypothesis: that the emotional state’s content of a person’s oral expression correlates with the corresponding facial expressions. Research in the domain of cognitive psychology was affirmative to our hypothesis and suggests that visual information related to emotions fused with the auditory signal is used from humans in a cross-modal integration schema to better understand emotions. In this regard, a method called dacssGAN (which stands for Domain Adaptation Conditional Semi-Supervised Generative Adversarial Networks) is introduced in this work, in an effort to bridge these two inherently different domains. Given as input the source domain (visual data) and some conditional information that is based on inductive conformal prediction, the proposed architecture generates data distributions that are as close as possible to the target domain (audio data). Through experimentation, it is shown that classification performance of an expanded dataset using real audio enhanced with generated samples produced using dacssGAN (50.29% and 48.65%) outperforms the one obtained merely using real audio samples (49.34% and 46.90%) for two publicly available audio–visual emotion datasets.
Corticotropin-releasing hormone regulates IL-6 expression during inflammation (2001)

Stimulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis by proinflammatory cytokines results in increased release of glucocorticoid that restrains further development of the inflammatory process. IL-6 has been suggested to stimulate the HPA axis during immune activation independent of the input of hypothalamic corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH). We used the corticotropin-releasing hormone-deficient (Crh(-/-)) mouse to elucidate the effect of CRH deficiency on IL-6 expression and IL-6-induced HPA axis activation during turpentine-induced inflammation. We demonstrate that during inflammation CRH is required for a normal adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH) increase but not for adrenal corticosterone rise. The paradoxical increase of plasma IL-6 associated with CRH deficiency suggests that IL-6 release during inflammation is CRH-dependent. We also demonstrate that adrenal IL-6 expression is CRH-dependent, as its basal and inflammation-induced expression is blocked by CRH deficiency. Our findings suggest that during inflammation, IL-6 most likely compensates for the effects of CRH deficiency on food intake. Finally, we confirm that the HPA axis response is defective in Crh(-/-)/IL-6(-/-) mice. These findings, along with the regulation of IL-6 by CRH, support the importance of the interaction between the immune system and the HPA axis in the pathophysiology of inflammatory diseases.
Forwarding Strategies for Applications in Named Data Networking (2016)

Named Data Networking (NDN), an information-centric Internet architecture, introduces a new forwarding model, in which the forwarding plane can choose between multiple interfaces when forwarding a packet. While the forwarding module brings new opportunities it also introduces challenges when the application's performance or correctness is affected by a conflict between the application design and the assigned forwarding strategy. In this paper we demonstrate the impact of the forwarding strategy decision on the performance and correctness of NDN applications.

Design and implementation of cloud offloading framework among devices for web applications (2015)

Nowadays, cloud computing has become a common computing infrastructure. As the computing paradigm has been shifted to cloud computing, devices can utilize computing resource any-where/any-time/any-device. Many research papers in mobile cloud called ‘cloud offloading’ which migrates a device's workload to a server or to the other device have been proposed. However, previous cloud offloading methods are mainly focusing on the cloud offloading between a device and a server. Furthermore, these proposed methods are difficult to be commercialized because the proposed methods were very complex - difficulty of partitioning application tasks and maintaining execution status sync between a device and a server in the cloud. In this paper, I proposed the framework for cloud offloading based on the web application standard - HTML5 specification - for web applications among devices. In HTML5 specification, there is the method for the parallel execution of the task named ‘Web Worker’ and the method for the communication among browsers name ‘WebRTC’. Utilizing the property of this specification, I proposed a seamless method to do the cloud offloading for parallelized tasks of the web applications among devices. Based on proposed method, a device can seamlessly migrate a part of web application workload with the Web Worker to other devices with a little modification of web applications. As a result, I can successfully build the environment where a device which has a HTML5 browser such as a mobile phone and a smart TV can share the workload among them in various situations - out-of-battery, good network connection.
LTE/SAE Security Issues on 4G Wireless Networks (2013)

The authors give an overview on the state of the art of potential security issues that occur in the deployment of the LTE/SAE (Long-Term Evolution/System Architecture Evolution) protocol in emerging 4G wireless technologies. Although security concerns and challenges in wireless networks will remain a hot topic in the future, the LTE/SAE standard could adapt to these rising challenges, becoming more robust and secure. By looking at the authentication and ciphering algorithms, such as EAP-AKA (Extensible Authentication Protocol for Authentication and Key Agreement), currently operating within the LTE protocol, the authors analyze several vulnerabilities in LTE/SAE security architecture - specifically, insecure AKA key derivation procedures and the lack of fast reauthentications during handovers.
Spectrophotometric Analysis by Cross-Correlation (1982)

An examination of the use of cross-correlation in quantitative analysis under conditions that isolated peaks are not obtained is reported. Examples are taken from infrared absorption spectroscopy. The properties of correlation that are relevant to this application are described. A comparison between cross-correlation and peak measurement is made with emphasis on the effects of sample background and instrument noise. Results are presented to show that correlation allows substantial improvement of performance when spectra with complex backgrounds are involved. It affords a significant improvement when noisy signals must be handled.
Detection of ApoE E2, E3 and E4 alleles using MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry and the homogeneous mass-extend technology (2005)

Apolipoprotein (Apo) E is one of the five main types of blood lipoproteins (A-E). It is synthesized primarily in the liver and brain and helps in transporting lipids from one place to another as well as facilitates the clearing of dietary fats, such as triglycerides, from the blood. The ApoE gene exists in three different forms: E2, E3 and E4. E3 is considered to be the normal form. Variants of the ApoE gene have been associated with various diseases. Developing an assay for the genotyping of ApoE variants for use both in clinical and large cohort based association settings would be extremely valuable and would require the use of a platform that has high-throughput capabilities and is highly accurate. Here we describe an assay for the simultaneous genotyping of the ApoE variants in a single bi-plex reaction and a single well using the matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry and the homogeneous mass-extend (hME) technology. The assay is robust, highly accurate and suitable for both clinical applications and for the genotyping of large disease cohorts. Moreover, the prevalence of ApoE variants in a cohort of Caucasians from the central Wisconsin area is outlined.
Membrane transport of anandamide through resealed human red blood cell membranes (2005)

The use of resealed red blood cell membranes (ghosts) allows the study of the transport of a compound in a nonmetabolizing system with a biological membrane. Transmembrane movements of anandamide (N-arachidonoylethanolamine, arachidonoylethanolamide) have been studied by exchange efflux experiments at 0 degrees C and pH 7.3 with albumin-free and albumin-filled human red blood cell ghosts. The efflux kinetics is biexponential and is analyzed in terms of compartment models. The distribution of anandamide on the membrane inner to outer leaflet pools is determined to be 0.275 +/- 0.023, and the rate constant of unidirectional flux from inside to outside is 0.361 +/- 0.023 s(-1). The rate constant of unidirectional flux from the membrane to BSA in the medium ([BSA]o) increases with the square root of [BSA]o in accordance with the theory of an unstirred layer around ghosts. Anandamide passed through the red blood cell membrane very rapidly, within seconds. At a molar ratio of anandamide to BSA of <1, membrane binding of anandamide increases with increasing temperatures between 0 degrees C and 37 degrees C, and the equilibrium dissociation constants are in the nanomolar range. The nature of membrane binding and the mechanism of membrane translocation are discussed.

Scattering of Polarized Laser Light by Water Droplet, Mixed-Phase and Ice Crystal Clouds. Part I: Angular Scattering Patterns (1979)

Laboratory studies of the angular scattering and depolarizing behavior of water, ice and mixed-phase clouds are described in Parts I and II of this report. In Part I, we present the theoretical background and experimental apparatus for determining the angular scattering pattern in the laboratory. The experimental results obtained with vertically and horizontally polarized laser light (0.6328 μm) are given in the form of normalized scattering phase functions to facilitate their comparison to theoretical predictions. Close agreement between Mie theory and experiment is found for water clouds when the measured cloud droplet size distribution is input into the computations. For ice crystal clouds containing small (<50 μm), randomly oriented particles, the agreement with theory using either the spherical or long cylinder shape approximation is less noteworthy due to the presence of more intense side-scattering and the absence of cloudbows in the experimental ice data. The scattering behavior of mixed-phase clouds, an important group of atmospheric clouds, is shown to be highly sensitive to the differences in the relative scattering efficiencies of the water and ice particles as a function of the scattering angle. Also considered are the effects of ice crystal size and shape on the angular scattering patterns. Finally, normalized phase function values for a representative ice crystal cloud are presented in tabulated form.
Photocatalytic Reactivities of Nafion-Coated TiO<sub>2</sub> for the Degradation of Charged Organic Compounds under UV or Visible Light (2005)

Nafion (perfluorinated polymer with sulfonate groups)-coated TiO2 particles (Nf/TiO2) were prepared and their reactivities for the photocatalytic degradation (PCD) of charged organic substrates were investigated. The presence of Nafion adlayers drastically changed the positive TiO2 surface charge to a negative one over the entire pH range and significantly influenced the PCD kinetics and mechanisms. The UV-induced PCD of tetramethylammonium (TMA; cationic substrate) was greatly enhanced in the presence of Nafion adlayers on TiO2 because the ion-exchange sites within the Nafion can hold cationic substrates. On the other hand, despite the unfavorable electrostatic interaction between the Nf/TiO2 and anionic substrates, the PCD of dichloroacetate (DCA) and acid orange 7 (AO7) with Nf/TiO2 was not significantly inhibited. The visible-light-sensitized degradation of dyes was enhanced with Nf/TiO2 not only for cationic dyes (methylene blue (MB) and rhodamine B (RhB)) whose uptake on Nf/TiO2 is enhanced, but also for an anionic dye (AO7) that is less adsorbed on Nf/TiO2. The unexpected behavior in AO7 degradation seems to be related to the role of the Nafion layer in retarding the charge recombination. These observations indicate that Nf/TiO2 can enhance the PCD reactivity for cationic substrates without sacrificing the PCD reactivity for anionic substrates. In addition, it was found that the sensitized degradation of RhB followed a different path when the surface of TiO2 was coated with Nafion. The N-de-ethylation of RhB that leads to the generation of rhodamine-110 was a prevailing path with Nf/TiO2, whereas the cleavage of the chromophoric ring structure was dominant with pure TiO2. The effects of Nafion adlayers on the photoinduced electron transfer and PCD kinetics and mechanisms are discussed.
ZnO Nanofiber and Nanoparticle Synthesized Through Electrospinning and Their Photocatalytic Activity Under Visible Light (2008)

In this paper, we fabricate ZnO nanofibers and nanoparticles through electrospinning precursor solution zinc acetate(ZnAc)/cellulose acetate(CA) in mixed‐solvent N , N ‐dimethylformamide/acetone. Depending on the posttreatment of precursor ZnAc/CA composite nanofibers, both ZnO nanofibers and nanoparticles were synthesized after calcination of precursor nanofibers. The morphology and crystal structure of the ZnO nanofiber and nanoparticle were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and X‐ray diffraction. It was found that the mean diameter of the ZnO nanofiber and nanoparticle was ca. 78 and 30 nm, respectively. The photo‐degradation of dye molecules such as Rhodamine B and acid fuchsin catalyzed by the ZnO nanofiber and nanoparticle was evaluated under the irradiation of visible light. Both morphological ZnO species showed strong photocatalytic activity. However, the ZnO nanofiber in the form of nanofibrous mats showed much higher efficiency than the nanoparticle although the latter has a smaller size than the former. The porous structure of ZnO nanofibrous mats is believed to improve the contacting surface areas between the catalyst and the dye molecules, while the aggregation of ZnO nanoparticle in the solution lowers the photocatalytic efficiency.

Metabolism and Clinical Interest of Serum Transthyretin (Prealbumin) in Dialysis Patients (2002)

Chronic renal failure is responsible for an increase in serum concentrations of transthyretin. Elevated serum transthyretin during renal insufficiency is secondary to the lack of retinol-binding protein degradation in renal tubules and to the subsequent increase in the fraction of transthyretin bound to retinol-binding protein. In both hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis patients, serum transthyretin was demonstrated to be a reliable marker of nutritional status, exhibiting significant relationships with energy and protein intakes as well as with fat stores and lean body mass. Serum transthyretin levels less than 300 mg/l were shown to be associated with an increased risk of morbidity and mortality in dialysis patients. The predictive value of transthyretin was shown to be independent of serum albumin. Regular measurements of both serum albumin and transthyretin make it possible to detect patients whose prognosis is compromised by malnutrition and in whom an active nutritional therapy must be undertaken. Simultaneous measurements of inflammatory markers such as serum C-reactive protein are required to evaluate the role of inflammation in serum albumin and transthyretin variations. These low-cost protein parameters should be incorporated in the regular assessment of dialysis patients and measured every 1 to 3 months.
