ChainSplitter: Towards Blockchain-based Industrial IoT Architecture for Supporting Hierarchical Storage (2019)

The fast developing Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technologies provide a promising opportunity to build large-scale systems to connect numerous heterogeneous devices into the Internet. Most existing IIoT infrastructures are based on a centralized architecture, which is easier for management but cannot effectively support immutable and verifiable services among multiple parties. Blockchain technology provides many desired features for large-scale IIoT infrastructures, such as decentralization, trustworthiness, trackability, and immutability. This paper presents a blockchain-based IIoT architecture to support immutable and verifiable services. However, when applying blockchain technology to the IIoT infrastructure, the required storage space posts a grant challenge to resource-constrained IIoT infrastructures. To address the storage issue, this paper proposes a hierarchical blockchain storage structure, \textit{ChainSplitter}. Specially, the proposed architecture features a hierarchical storage structure where the majority of the blockchain is stored in the clouds, while the most recent blocks are stored in the overlay network of the individual IIoT networks. The proposed architecture seamlessly binds local IIoT networks, the blockchain overlay network, and the cloud infrastructure together through two connectors, the \textit{blockchain connector} and the \textit{cloud connector}, to construct the hierarchical blockchain storage. The blockchain connector in the overlay network builds blocks in blockchain from data generated in IIoT networks, and the cloud connector resolves the blockchain synchronization issues between the overlay network and the clouds. We also provide a case study to show the efficiency of the proposed hierarchical blockchain storage in a practical Industrial IoT case.

Hydrophobic Pairwise Interactions Stabilize α-Conotoxin MI in the Muscle Acetylcholine Receptor Binding Site (2000)

The present work delineates pairwise interactions underlying the nanomolar affinity of alpha-conotoxin MI (CTx MI) for the alpha-delta site of the muscle acetylcholine receptor (AChR). We mutated all non-cysteine residues in CTx MI, expressed the alpha(2)betadelta(2) pentameric form of the AChR in 293 human embryonic kidney cells, and measured binding of the mutant toxins by competition against the initial rate of (125)I-alpha-bungarotoxin binding. The CTx MI mutations P6G, A7V, G9S, and Y12T all decrease affinity for alpha(2)betadelta(2) pentamers by 10,000-fold. Side chains at these four positions localize to a restricted region of the known three-dimensional structure of CTx MI. Mutations of the AChR reveal major contributions to CTx MI affinity by Tyr-198 in the alpha subunit and by the selectivity determinants Ser-36, Tyr-113, and Ile-178 in the delta subunit. By using double mutant cycles analysis, we find that Tyr-12 of CTx MI interacts strongly with all three selectivity determinants in the delta subunit and that deltaSer-36 and deltaIle-178 are interdependent in stabilizing Tyr-12. We find additional strong interactions between Gly-9 and Pro-6 in CTx MI and selectivity determinants in the delta subunit, and between Ala-7 and Pro-6 and Tyr-198 in the alpha subunit. The overall results reveal the orientation of CTx MI when bound to the alpha-delta interface and show that primarily hydrophobic interactions stabilize the complex.
Requirements on information technology for product lifecycle management (2005)

Good decision-making is founded on good information. Information technology supporting product lifecycle management ought to provide a high degree of information cohesion and traceability – knowledge of the interrelations among data, and basis for belief. Providing cohesion and traceability is made difficult by differences in viewpoint and ontology employed by the various disciplines and organisations involved in the product lifecycle. This paper describes an analysis of cohesion and traceability into its constituents properties. The paper suggests that process-aware integration schema can improve the cohesion and traceability among product data.
Traditional Rice Cultivation Methods and a Survey of Plows in Thailand : With Special Reference to the Development of Plow Technology (1995)

villages in Thailand. This was in fact my first chance to see anything of Thailand outside of the capital city of Bangkok and I was determined to make the most of it by combining my visits to villages for the purpose of surveying agricultural methods and implements with visits to the ruins of a number of ancient cities for the purpose of expanding my thesis on the baroque development of Thailand's pre-modern royal cities. Given the brevity of the visit and the ambitious nature of my schedule, there was a clear risk of falling between two stools. I therefore confine this report to my village-centered survey of agricultural methods. The primary objective of my village survey was to assess the influence of transitions in the ecological environment on traditional rice cultivation methods in a variety of geomorphological areas from the mountainous northern part of Thailand through to the flat central plain. To this end I visited a total of 11 villages in these areas; the geographical distribution of the villages is shown in Fig. 1. In seven of the villages which I visited, I discussed traditional rice cultivation methods orally with the local people, and measured and photographed their farming implements. Given the purpose of my survey, there was of course a natural tendency for the distribution of the villages I selected to be skewed somewhat towards the north of the country. For a number of reasons I was also obliged to confine that part of my survey which I conducted in the remaining 4 villages to measuring and photographing traditional farming implements, particularly plows. I was nevertheless pleased to have been able to carry out at least part of my survey in the delta of the Chao Phraya river which, as the reader will see from Fig. 1, is far removed from the mountainous northern part of the country.
A novel emulator for VCR servo controller testing (1991)

A simulation system for testing a video-cassette-recorder servo controller is described. This system simulates all the feedback signals in real time for realistic closed-loop testing. The advantages are speed, flexibility, and reliability. A working prototype was developed on Eurocard-size printed circuit boards, and laboratory tests yielded impressive results. The whole system is compact, and the control signals are simple enough to interface to any computer-based test system.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
MP-Tomasulo (2013)

This article presents MP-Tomasulo, a dependency-aware automatic parallel task execution engine for sequential programs. Applying the instruction-level Tomasulo algorithm to MPSoC environments, MP-Tomasulo detects and eliminates Write-After-Write (WAW) and Write-After-Read (WAR) inter-task dependencies in the dataflow execution, therefore to operate out-of-order task execution on heterogeneous units. We implemented the prototype system within a single FPGA. Experimental results on EEMBC applications demonstrate that MP-Tomasulo can execute the tasks out-of-order to achieve as high as 93.6% to 97.6% of ideal peak speedup. A comparative study against a state-of-the-art dataflow execution scheme is illustrated with a classic JPEG application. The promising results show MP-Tomasulo enables programmers to uncover more task-level parallelism on heterogeneous systems, as well as to ease the burden of programmers.
Evaluating a Voter Outreach Initiative (2009)

· This article describes an initiative designed to increase voting rates among low-income and ethnic groups in southern and central California communities. · A rigorous evaluation demonstrated that participation rates could be increased by up to 10% among these groups. · Using local, well-trained canvassers and making contact during the four weeks preceding the election were some of the more effective practices.
Characterization and recognition of deep-water channel-lobe transition zones (2002)

The channel-lobe transition zone (CLTZ) is an important, but commonly overlooked, element of many deep-water turbidite systems. Recognizing this zone is difficult in both modern and ancient environments and depends largely on the quality and resolution of the data obtained. In this article, three case studies of modern CLTZs are presented, largely based on high-resolution side-scan sonar imagery. These data are then compared to other well-defined CLTZs, both modern and ancient, and the common characteristics identified.<br/><br/>CLTZs occur at canyon/channel mouths and are commonly associated with a break of slope. Most sediment bypasses this zone, and consequently only coarse sands and gravels are deposited, although these are commonly patchily distributed and extensively reworked. The CLTZ is characterized by abundant erosional features, including isolated spoon- and chevron-shaped scours up to 20 m deep, 2 km wide, and 2.5 km long. In areas of more widespread erosion, these merge to form amalgamated scours several kilometers across. Depositional bed forms include sediment waves with wavelengths of 1-2 km and wave heights up to 4 m. The presence or absence of a CLTZ has important implications for hydrocarbon exploration and development, especially in terms of the connectivity between sandy channel-fill and lobe facies.

In vitro and in vivo assessment of the graft-versus-leukemia activity of cord blood. (1995)

Allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) frequently is accompanied by the occurrence of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). GVHD is thought to mediate a beneficial graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) effect believed to be important for disease-free survival in cancer patients. However, it is uncertain if GVHD and GVL are mediated by unique effector cell populations in the graft. The lack of bone marrow donors for individuals needing HLA-matched, unrelated BMT has recently led to the use of cord blood for transplantation. Cord blood transplantation has generated much enthusiasm because of its very low incidence of GVHD, even in HLA-mismatched situations, owing to intrinsic defects in mature T cell functions. Concerns have arisen, however, as to whether cord blood would mediate a significant GVL activity in vivo in the absence of GVHD, and thus prevent relapse in patients treated for malignancies. In this study in vitro and in vivo assessments have been made of the ability of cord blood to mediate GVL activity, focusing on non-specific effector cell mechanisms. Although minimal non-specific cytotoxic activity is found in freshly isolated cord blood (both NK and LAK cell activity), it is rapidly induced and displays a spectrum of lytic activity similar to adult peripheral blood. The kinetics of LAK cell induction in cord blood as well as the responsiveness to IL-2 stimulation was identical to adult peripheral blood.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
Time-Resolved Photoconduction in the Polymer of the Bis(<i>p</i>-toluenesulfonate) of 2,4-Hexadiyne-1,6-diol (1987)

Peak photocurrents excited in a polymer of bis(p-toluenesulfonate) of 2,4-hexadiyne-1,6-diol (PTS) by N2-laser pulses vary superquadratically with electric field. The ratio ip(E)/φ(E), where φ denotes the carrier generation efficiency, increases linearly with field. This indicates that on a 10 ns scale the carrier drift velocity is a linear function of E. Information on carrier transport kinetics in the time domain of barrier controlled motion is inferred from the rise time of photocurrents excited by rectangular pulses of 488 nm light. The intensity dependence of the rate constant for carrier relaxation indicates efficient interaction between barrier-localized carriers and chain excitons promoting barrier crossing.
The development of the RTS,S malaria vaccine candidate: challenges and lessons (2009)

RTS,S is the world's most advanced malaria vaccine candidate and is intended to protect infants and young children living in malaria endemic areas of sub-Saharan Africa against clinical disease caused by Plasmodium falciparum. Recently, a pivotal Phase III efficacy trial of RTS,S began in Africa. The goal of the programme has been to develop a vaccine that will be safe and effective when administered via the Expanded Program for Immunization (EPI) and significantly reduce the risk of clinically important malaria disease during the first years of life. If a similar reduction in the risk of severe malaria and other important co-morbidities associated with malaria infection can be achieved, then the vaccine could become a major new tool for reducing the burden of malaria in sub-Saharan Africa. Encouraging data from the ongoing phase II programme suggest that these goals may indeed be achievable. This review discusses some of the unique challenges that were faced during the development of this vaccine, highlights the complexity of developing new vaccine technologies and illustrates the power of partnerships in the ongoing fight against this killer disease.
Application of high-resolution thermal infrared remote sensing and GIS to assess the urban heat island effect (1997)

Day and night airborne thermal infrared image data at 5 m spatial resolution acquired with the 15-channel (0.45 micron - 12.2 micron) Advanced Thermal and Land Applications Sensor (ATLAS) over Alabama, Huntsville on 7 September, 1994 were used to study changes in the thermal signatures of urban land cover types between day and night. Thermal channel number 13 (9.6 micron - 10.2 micron) data with the best noise-equivalent temperature change (NEAT) of 0.25 C after atmospheric corrections and temperature calibration were selected for use in this analysis. This research also examined the relation between land cover irradiance and vegetation amount, using the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), obtained by ratioing the difference and the sum of the red (channel number 3: 0.60-0.63 micron) and reflected infrared (channel number 6: 0.76-0.90 micron) ATLAS data. Based on the mean radiance values, standard deviations, and NDVI extracted from 351 pairs of polygons of day and night channel number 13 images for the city of Huntsville, a spatial model of warming and cooling characteristics of commercial, residential, agricultural, vegetation, and water features was developed using a GIS approach. There is a strong negative correlation between NDVI and irradiance of residential, agricultural, and vacant/transitional land cover types, indicating that the irradiance of a land cover type is greatly influenced by the amount of vegetation present. The predominance of forests, agricultural, and residential uses associated with varying degrees of tree cover showed great contrasts with commercial and services land cover types in the center of the city, and favors the development of urban heat islands. The high-resolution thermal infrared images match the complexity of the urban environment, and are capable of characterizing accurately the urban land cover types for the spatial modeling of the urban heat island effect using a GIS approach.
Thalidomide in the Treatment of Behçet's Syndrome (1982)

<h3>To the Editor.—</h3> In the May 1979Archives(115:636-637), Mascaro et al described the beneficial effect of thalidomide in the treatment of recurrent, necrotic, and giant mucocutaneous aphthae and aphthosis. They recorded excellent results in six patients while they were receiving a dosage of 100 mg/day. At about the time of this publication, we received a letter from A. C. McDougall, MD, MRCP (April 14, 1980) who had first heard of these results in the treatment of aphthous stomatitis after talking to a colleague in Sierra Leone about the proved (but unexplained) value of thalidomide in the immune complex syndrome of lepromatous leprosy.<sup>1,2</sup>He suggested its use in the treatment of patients with the fully developed Behçet's syndrome in Turkey, and this prompted us to undertake a trial that now involves 22 patients. Eighteen of these patients had had the disease for ten years or more, with generally poor
Block Ciphers: Analysis, Design and Applications (1994)

The Autograph Man, by Zadie Smith: The Long Way to Heal Trauma (2014)

Zadie Smith’s second novel, The Autograph Man (2002), was severely reviewed by several critics who expected another ‘multicultural novel’ after her first literary success, White Teeth (2000). This paper aims to reflect on the importance of this second novel and to highlight the relevance of trauma in contemporary culture, which negates and is fascinated by this phenomenon. Through an analysis of the main character of the novel, this work reflects on how human beings try to escape the psychological effects of traumatic events, instead of facing the painful feelings they provoke and the changes they produce on the human psyche.

Biological and Chromatographic Characterization of a Polypeptide with Pressor and Oxytocic Activities Isolated from Bovine Pineal Gland (1963)

A polypeptide with pressor and oxytocic activities has been isolated from bovine pineal gland. This polypeptide is neither arginine—or lysine—vasopressin, nor oxytocin. The biological and chromatographic characteristics are similar to those of arginine vasotocin. It is concluded that the pineal polypeptide is arginine vasotocin or a hormone with similar structure.
The Influence of Surface Wettability on the Adhesion Strength of Settled Spores of the Green Alga Enteromorpha and the Diatom Amphora (2002)

In this paper we report on the effect of surface wettability on surface selection and adhesion properties of settled (adhered) spores of the biofouling marine alga Enteromorpha and cells of the diatom Amphora, through the use of patterned self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). The SAMs were formed from alkanethiols terminated with methyl (CH(3)) or hydroxyl (OH) groups, or mixtures of the two, creating a discontinuous gradient of wettability as measured by advancing water contact angle. In the case of Enteromorpha, primary adhesion, as measured by the transition from a motile spore to a settled, sessile organism, is strongly promoted by the hydrophobic surfaces. On the other hand, adhesion strength of the settled spores, as measured by resistance to detachment in a turbulent flow cell, is greatest on a hydrophilic surface. In the case of Amphora, there is little influence of surface wettability on the primary adhesion of this organism, but motility is inhibited at contact angles ≥60° and the cells are more strongly adhered to hydrophobic surfaces. Adhesion strength of Enteromorpha spores is also influenced by group size, spores in groups being more resistant to detachment than single spores.
Effects of olanzapine and other antipsychotic agents on responding maintained by a conflict schedule (1994)

The effects of the "atypical" antipsychotic olanzapine and several other antipsychotics were examined using a conflict schedule. Rats were trained to respond for food on a three-component schedule, comprising variable-interval 30s (food, VI30) and fixed-ratio 10s (food + shock, FR10) components separated by time-out (TO). Olanzapine (0.3125-1.25mg/kg), clozapine (1.25-5mg/kg) and chlordiazepoxide (2.5-5mg/kg) decreased or had no effect on VI30 responding, whereas responding in the FR10 component increased. Chlordiazepoxide (5mg/kg) also increased TO responding. The antipsychotic agents haloperidol (0.125 and 0.25mg/kg), trifluoperazine (0.0625-0.25mg/kg), remoxipride (1.25-5mg/kg) and risperidone (0.0625-0.5mg/kg) decreased V130 responding and either had no effect, or decreased TO and FR10 rates. The anticholinergic agent scopolamine (0.03125-0.25mg/kg) decreased VI30 responding. The 5-HT(2) antagonist ritanserin (2.5 and 5mg/kg) and the anticholinergic agent trihexyphenidyl (2.5 and 5mg/kg) had no effect on responding. Flumezanil (10mg/kg) reduced the anticonflict effect of chlordiazepoxide but not olanzapine. These results further emphasize the unusual profile of olanzapine.
EFFECT OF ARSENIC PRESSURE ON HEAT TREATMENT OF LIQUID EPITAXIAL GaAs (1970)

Short-time heat treatments in a H2 flow, and under an As vapor, have been performed on n-type and p-type GaAs crystals. Acceptors are created at the surface and proceed to the interior. The changes in carrier concentration as function of As vapor pressure showed the acceptors to be associated with As vacancies.
